The Committee of Five, appointed to oversee operations at the tziyun of the Rashbi continues efforts to improve the condition of the site and the areas surrounding.

Recently, in conjunction with the National Center for the Development of Holy Sites, an inspection of the Sifrei Torah at the Rashbi was performed. After the partial examination of half of the Sifrei Torah, it was determined that ten are in need of repair. Four of them were repaired and six of them are in the process.

The Committee decided that the Sifrei Torah on the site should be “mehudar”, and efforts are ongoing to actualize this.
