A delegation of Gedolei Eretz Yisroel will soon be traveling to the United States in support of Keren Olam Hatorah, the fundraising initiative established to sustain yeshivos and kollelim across Eretz Yisroel amid deep and painful funding cuts by the Israeli government.
The updated, but still tentative, gedolim’s itinerary is as follows:
Sunday, June 15: Baltimore and Los Angeles (YWN has confirmed that HaGaon Rav Dov Landau shlit”a will be participating in this leg of the visit, marking the gadol’s first-ever visit to the West Coast)

Tuesday/Wednesday, June 17–18: Lakewood
Thursday, June 19: Brooklyn
Friday/Shabbos June 20–21: Monsey
Sunday, June 22: Monsey and Deal, NJ
Monday, June 23: Toronto
Tuesday, June 24: Five Towns
Various events are in the works for each city on the itinerary. More details about specific events, locations and times will be shared in the coming days.

• HaGaon Rav Dov Landau shlit”a, Rosh Yeshivas Slabodka

How is it possible to visit Baltimore and Monsey and Los Angeles on one day and spend any meaningful amount of time in those places?
How does this organization relate to Adopt a Kollel? Different mission, some overlap?
The Satmar rebbe, obviously many years ago said there will come a time that an ehrliche yid will not be able to live in eretz Yisroel and he was laughed at and told he was speaking loshon hara

Why not come to Cleveland as well. We would welcome you.
lbj – Source please. I am not aware of The Satmar Rebbe zt”l ever saying any such thing. He himself built many mosdos in Eretz Yisroel, which continue to thrive without tovos of the government. He did emphatically say that relying on government money for Yeshivos will eventually lead to interference and other problems. No one seriously thinks that this will be the end of Yiddishkeit in Eretz Yisroel. For almost 30 years that I live here, some individual or group of politicians are always boasting how now they have the ‘final solution to the Chareidi problem’, and they’re just one vote of no confidence away from getting there, and now they’re going to make history… וה׳ לא יעזבנו בידו
