The Rachmistrivka Rebbe of Yerushalayim departed Eretz Yisroel on Monday night for a brief visit to New York, where he joined a major fundraising campaign on behalf of Keren Olam HaTorah.

The Rebbe has joined similar trips over the past two years, traveling together with prominent rabbanim to support efforts and raise much needed funds. The current campaign seeks to raise support for yeshivos and kollelim facing growing financial pressures.

The Rebbe arrived this morning at John F. Kennedy International Airport before traveling to Lawrence in the Five Towns, where he davened Shacharis and met with local yidden.

Today, the Rebbe will travel to Kiryas Yoel, where a Rosh Chodesh gathering is scheduled.

On Wednesday and Thursday, the Rebbe will be in Boro Park, participating alongside other gedolei Yisroel in a series of events and fundraising gatherings for Keren Olam HaTorah. A larger gathering is expected to take place Wednesday evening.

The Rebbe is expected to return to Eretz Yisroel on Thursday night and arrive home before Shabbos.
