Shiya Itzkowitz of the Effective Results Advertising Company has pulled out of the Yahadut Hatorah campaign in line with instructions from HaGaon HaRav Aaron Leib Shteinman Shlita. He blames people in the party for speaking against him. He convened a press conference in his office on Thursday morning 14 Teves 5773 explaining he is complying with the Gadol Hador’s instructions.

Kikar Shabbat reports Bolton Potential will handle the chareidi sector campaign and Bereshis the secular campaign.

Itzkowitz did not hide his anger, accusing persons from within of working very hard to sabotage his effort. He adds that Rav Shteinman spoke harshly when he learned how the selection process for an advertisement firm was handled, but he preferred not to elaborate.
