As organizers of the atzeres in NYC continue preparing for the Manhattan tefilla event, MK Rav Yisrael Eichler is heading to the United States. Eichler announced during a meeting of Agudas Yisrael officials on Tuesday night the eve of 3 Adar II that he is headed to New York on a public relations mission, to explain the events taking place in Israel.
In the US, Eichler will visit the homes of the Vishnitzer Rebbe Monsey Shlita, the Skolin Rebbe Shlita, Skvere Rebbe Shlita and the Satmar Rebbes Shlita. Eichler hopes to take part in the atzeres as well ahead of the vote scheduled in Knesset for the new draft law on Wednesday, 10 Adar II. According to reports from Israel, while Eichler plans to participate in the atzeres, he is not expected to address the tzibur.

Maybe netanyahu can get a ride with Eichler to the ateresbnosy, after all he “missed the one in Yerushslayim. Then there will be a choshuv representation from Eretz Yisroel l’chol hadaos.
YWN Editor, please check your sources, it is very doubtful that Eichler will visit the (Either) Satmar rebbe shlita, since neither Satmar rebbe is likely to grant R’ Eichler a visit since he is a Member of the Kneset.
Also, you write that he will visit the Skolin rebbe, did you mean Stolin or perhaps Skulen.
Will he fly economy business or first?
