Not wishing to abandon the sholom bayis that prevailed during the weeks before elections, the Vishnitzer Rebbe Shlita is working to revitalize the Moetzas Gedolei Hatorah of Agudas Yisrael based on the model of years past. The rebbe feels that it is important to reorganize to permit the admorim to meet and make the critical decisions that impact the tzibur as a unified unit.
The rebbe is sending Rabbi Mordechai Stern to meet with admorim around the country, including Sanz and Belz. After Rav Stern met with the Belzer Rebbe Shlita, the rebbe in a meeting with Yahadut Hatorah members emphasized the importance of such achdus, as was reported by YWN-ISRAEL.
In recent years a number of admorim were niftar, including the Alexander, Moditz, Boston and Sadigura Rebbes ZT”L, as well as the Yeshuos Moshe of Vishnitz ZT”L, who served as head of the Moetzas Gedolei Yisrael. Therefore, the Vishnitzer feels new appointments must be made towards revitalizing the rabbinical body, following the example of HaGaon HaRav Aaron Yehuda Leib Shteinman Shlita who in Av approved new appointments to the Moetzas Gedolei Yisrael of the Degel Hatorah faction.
Baruch Hashem it appears that a genuine effort is underway to bring these two bodies together to permit them to meld into on cohesive unit and set an example of achdus for the Torah tzibur.

Lets have a full Moetzes meeting, but when a Rebbe dies and leaves two children who cannot get along, neither one should be invited to replace their father at meetings. I assume they will need two Vizhnitzers, maybe Belz Machnovke as well as the main Belz, Roshei Yeshiva of both factions of Ponevez etc. The idea of Vizhnitz advocating for unity is a bit funny…..
