Gedolei Yisrael Shlita of Agudas Yisrael and Degel HaTorah will be convening in Yerushalayim on Monday together with Gedolei Yisrael Shlita from Council of Torah Sages of Agudah in the United States. The purpose of the kenos is to show solidarity and strengthen Chinuch Atzmai.

The daily HaMevaser reports that since the establishment of Chinuch Atzmai, this is only the third time that such a forum is taking place.

The gathering is actually in compliance with the law dictating that Agudah change over its legal status in compliance with laws governing non-profits. Today’s kenos is actually a meeting of the expanded directorate and a board that will undertake the responsibility of running the educational network will also be selected.

Signatures appearing on the invitation include Maran Rav Elyashiv Shlita, Marav Rav Shteinman Shlita, the Erlau Rebbe Shlita, Sadigura Rebbe Shlita and the Bostoner Rebbe Shlita.

HaMevaser adds the kenos is of significance as well at a time when the Israeli courts are being used as a vehicle to infuse unwanted curriculums into the Chinuch Atzmai system, a decision that must be left to the Gedolei Yisrael Shlita.

The forum is not open to the general public.
