'Atra Kadisha', again delaying the Golobnzitz construction site

If there were those who thought that the silence a few months ago, after the exhausting saga at the Golobnzitz compound in Beit Shemesh, which was the storm for a long time, for the claim of the Atra Kadisha, the presence in the local cemetery - will endure, was wrong. Work stopped again yesterday at the Atra Kadisha's request to expose an area of 250 acres.

Hardships of the Golobnzitz compound on which should be built projects of the activist Rabbi Avraham Slonim and Degel HaTorah, has received extensive coverage in that respective section. Two years, the complex was frozen. All the cries of yeshiva students who bought apartments in the project, all attempts of conciliation and mediation, including visiting members of the Eideh Charedi led by the Ab"d, brought no breakthrough.

Recall, four months ago, with the visit of the Satmar Rebbe in Israel, accompanied him tycoon and activist Rabbi Eliezer Kestenbaum – one of Satmar community leaders, who opened energetic and intense talks and brought settlement to the crisis.

No one knows what was in the agreements. There were rumors then claimed large amounts of money to fund Atra Kadisha, and only to continue the veto imposed by the ongoing construction.

Two inspectors of the organization severely resented their leader, Chezki Kalmanovitz, a leader of the organization, and agreed to unfreeze the work surface.

"For years, you say that there is a cemetery, and it is impossible to build, five feet before pouring concrete all over the place and making fibrin. Then how has it changed, what happened that a permit was given?" The inspectors asked half seriously.

Ten years to build

Meanwhile, the Israel Antiquities Authority released the land and tractors went up and started to work. Accelerated development of the infrastructure, electricity and sewage began. Yeshiva students were relieved. Here, within two years, as was promised to them, the end will come to your ongoing suffering and you will finally get your own apartment, after tens of thousands of shekels extracting monthly rent so far, for the stalled project.

Joy, it turns out was premature. It is unclear what happened, but the Atra Kadisha, led by inspector Yisrael Eisenbach, fulfilled the word of Kalmanovitz, landed a new directive yesterday: should be exposed on the surface with 250 acres, it should have been built in the first stage thousand housing units, using a small tractor. The tractor operator will expose the rock surface with the back of his bulldozer to check if there were no graves in place. In other words, roll everything back and return to the starting point.

What happened? Why has the settlement expired? Is this related to the visit of Kestenbaum on Lag B'Omer in Israel? Why are the words of Badatz no longer valid? Atra Kadisha has the answer to the riddle.

Needless to say, such work costs a fortune. Dream of yeshiva students to see their own apartments are walking away. Heavy costs will fall on their slumped shoulders, and the price of an apartment that was supposed to cost about NIS 650,000 will surge to unknown prices. Most likely, that after such heavy expenses, the entire project will become financially lucrative. Infrastructure works were stopped for an unknown period of time, and probably 'prophecy' of the organization's chairman Rabbi David Schmidel that that could take at least ten years to build apartments here, if his solution is not adopted is gradually coming true.
