The Gerrer Rebbe and Rabbi Aharon Leib Steinman, 93, another leading rabbi, will fly in a historic journey to visit American Jewish communities….The rabbis will land in Los Angles where the Jewish community is eagerly awaiting their arrival. A private jet will fly the rabbis to Montreal and Toronto.Their aides agreed with El Al officials that they will not have to see women during flight.The rabbis bought all first class tickets on the flight to make sure no businesswomen are on board.
