Kaliver Rebbe Devotes himself to the chinuch of French Olim

The battle for the children of France.

Harav Elya Ber Wachtfogel, Rosh Yeshivas Zichron Moshe in South Fallsburg paid a special visit to the Kaliver Rebbe, founder of a fund for the salvation for the children If French immigrants to Israel. The Rebbe is suffering from a rare disease which has robbed him of his ability to speak. He communicates via a computer that tracks his eye movements.



Harav Elya Ber Wachtfogel told the Admor,"A philanthropist wanted to donate $100,000 to the yeshiva. I told him to donate to the fund that the Rebbe established." Harav Elya Ber also suggested practical assistance in terms of finding avreichim who would take a part in the salvation of the French children.



Bechadrey Charedim has learned that at the end of the meeting, the Rebbe wrote, "that the mitzvah of saving these children is tremendous, and a great zechus."
The Rosh Yeshiva gave him a bracha that in the merit of his great zechuyos the passuk," Lo Lmareh Einav Yishpot," that they should be able to get rid of the screen, that the Rebbe will not have to communicate via his eyes.




The Satmar Rebbe, who established the fund along with the Kaliver Rebbe, met with the heads of Chinuch Atzmai, including the CEO Eliezer Sorotzkin, who gave the Admor a detailed report of the efforts on behalf of the French children.

The Admor told Sorotzkin that about the yeshiva in Aux les Bein , which the Brisker Rav ruled was allowed to incorporate secular studies in order to draw estranged Jews to Torah.

Harav Sorotzkin said that Lev L'achim considered the idea but Harav Shteinman said," It's possible that it would be better if there would be such institutions, and if they will establish such institutions we wouldn't be able to oppose it, but it is assur for us ourselves to establish institutions that combine chol and kosedsh."
