The Zvhil Rebbe, joined by his uncle, the Gaavad of Zvhil, led a chanukat habayit and mezuzah-affixing ceremony for Beit Mordechai, the Zvhil yeshiva's new building for younger students in Beitar Illit. The dedication was timed to the opening of the Elul study term on 1 Elul 5786, August 14. The new, well-appointed building answers growth in enrollment and is intended to ensure optimal conditions for students, a significant stage in expanding Torah study and education institutions in the city. City rabbis, the Slonim Av Beit Din Rabbi Yisrael Barzovsky, Rabbi Tzvi Braverman and Rabbi Avraham Shraga Stiglitz, attended alongside MK Meir Porush and Beitar Illit Mayor Meir Rubinstein.
