Housing Minister Uri Ariel escorted former Rishon L’Tzion HaGaon HaRav Moshe Shlomo Amar Shlita on a visit to Tel Tzion, a chareidi community in the Binyamin Region of Shomron.

Community rabbonim and leaders were on hand to take part in the visit as they showed the rav around, explaining the development of the community. They explained how bnei torah, avreichim, live alongside working people from all ethnicities in a harmonious atmosphere.

The rav was impressed to see the rapid growth of the community giving a bracha that the community should become considerably larger and contain many mosdos torah and chessed.
