Belz Hasidim who recently settled in the new 'Sofrim Complex' neighborhood in northern Bnei Brak celebrated the inauguration of their new Hasidic study hall (shtiebel) in the area. The event was attended by prominent rabbis and dayanim of the Hasidic community in the city, alongside Bnei Brak Mayor Hanokh Zeibert, his deputy Yehoshua Mendel, and Belz representative in the municipality, Aharon Elboim. The ceremony featured speeches and blessings from notable figures including Rabbi Yechezkel Drumberdiker, rabbi of the Hasidic communities in the neighborhood, and the Mielan Rebbe, the only Hasidic Rebbe residing in the complex.

The inauguration marks a significant milestone for the Belz Hasidim who have been establishing their presence in this newly developed area of Bnei Brak, reflecting the community's growth and consolidation. The event was described as uplifting and spiritually significant, highlighting the unity and religious dedication of the community members.

This development is part of a broader trend of Hasidic groups expanding and strengthening their institutions in Bnei Brak, a city known for its large ultra-Orthodox population. The new study hall will serve as a central place for prayer, study, and communal gatherings for the Belz Hasidim in the neighborhood, enhancing their religious and social infrastructure.

The participation of city officials alongside religious leaders underscores the cooperation between the municipal authorities and the Hasidic communities in supporting their growth and integration within the city. The event was also marked by musical performances and speeches that emphasized the spiritual elevation and blessings for the new community center.
