Zvhil Hasidim Celebrate New 'Beit Mordechai' Yeshiva Building in Beitar Illit

By כיכר השבת, חיים רוזנבוים
Translated & summarized from Kikar HaShabbat by baba
The story · English

A significant inauguration ceremony took place in Beitar Illit for the new building of the young men's yeshiva "Beit Mordechai" of the Zvhil Hasidic dynasty. The event was led by the Zvhil Rebbe and his uncle, Rabbi David, the Zvhil Gaavad, marking an important milestone in the expansion of Torah education institutions in the city. The new, spacious facility was established to accommodate the growing number of students and to provide optimal conditions for their welfare.

The ceremony was attended by prominent city rabbis, including Rabbi Israel Berzovsky, Av Beit Din of Salonim, Rabbi Tzvi Broverman, and Rabbi Avraham Shraga Stieglitz, alongside public figures and city leaders. Among the notable guests were Member of Knesset Meir Porush and Beitar Illit Mayor Meir Rubinstein, who honored the historic institution and blessed the expansion of the city's sacred boundaries.

The highlight of the event was the affixing of mezuzot on the entrances to the study hall and classrooms, performed by the Rebbe, the yeshiva head Rabbi Shmuel David Goldman (Zvhil Gaavad), and other distinguished Hasidic leaders. Following this, the Rebbe held a celebratory tish, delivering words of blessing and guidance to the students and staff, and expressing gratitude to all involved in completing the building project.
