Rabbi Dov Landau Leads U.S. Push for Israeli Torah Institutions With Thousands at Los Angeles Rally

Organizers say new pledges still leave large gaps for Israeli yeshivos affected by government cuts.

Overview

  • The World Of Torah Fund/Keren Olam HaTorah campaign mounted multi-day programming in Los Angeles that culminated in a Saban Stadium rally reported as filled to capacity.
  • Rabbi Dov Landau told attendees the 'Torah of the Land of Israel is in danger' and urged American Jews to donate to help stabilize yeshivos and kollelim.
  • Organizers reported unprecedented gifts and substantial new pledges from U.S. benefactors, while noting that significant additional funds are still required this year.
  • The Los Angeles visit included private tefillos, shiurim by senior roshei yeshiva, and a fundraising dinner hosted by Reb Yitzchok Unger where participants committed support.
  • The tour followed a Cleveland stop that featured a morning asifah for roughly 2,000 children and an evening gathering attended by more than 3,000 community members.
