In a move to safeguard the Gerrer Mosdos in Eretz Yisroel, the Gerer Rebbe departed Eretz Yisroel on Motzeoi Shabbos for the United States, leading a critical emergency fundraising campaign to rescue Gerrer educational institutions facing unprecedented financial peril.
The Rebbe’s journey, aboard a private jet graciously provided by Philanthropist Yoeli Landau and his partner David Gefner, comes as government funding for chareidi mosdos has been slashed, with no legislative relief in sight for full-time lomdei Torah.
Sources within the Gur community revealed that the campaign aims to secure sufficient funds to sustain all Gur educational institutions for the next two years, ensuring the continuity of Torah and chinuch. A well-placed source in Gur tells YWN that the rebbe will be going home with a staggering $20 million for his Mosdos.
A pinnacle of the Rebbe’s visit will be a major fundraising dinner on Sunday evening, at the home of Philanthropist and mega Askan Reb Shlomo Werdiger, chairman of Agudath Israel of America.

Will the gvirim have money left for the Keren Olam Hatorah delegation?
@Uncle Ben
I’m not a Gerrer Chosid but Isn’t Ger part of the Olam Hatora ?
Nice car, Nice plane…
Apparently the organizers of the yeshivishe trip of gedolim did not want Ger to participate. One person in particular. So they had to organize their own trip.
Thunderstorm; I wrote Keren Olam Hatorah referring to the delegation planning to come here in the next couple of months. Apparently Ger is not part of that if the Gerrer Rebbe shlita is making his own fund raising trip.
It was reported that on a recent trip to the United States HaGaon HaTzaddik Rav Shaul Alter Shlita of Ger raised over $50mn for his Mosdos.
