Mayor of Bnei Brak visits NYC
After twenty years of an exemplary public service, with no problem ever
too big or too small for his attention, and unparallel devotion to each and
every person, the esteemed Rav Yaakov Asher, with wall-to-wall support of
leaders and the public, and without an election process, was elected mayor of
Bnei-Brak.
His first two goals, immediately after assuming office are: to lead the
city into economical independence by promoting the building of high-risers in
its north part, as well as commerce and occupation centers, etc.; and the
creation of a development fund, much like the one founded by the past mayor of
Jerusalem, the late Teddy Kolek, through which donors from around the world who
understand the importance of preserving this precious Torah city, will support
various welfare, education and over-all quality of life enterprises.
The Friedlander Group was proud to coordinate his visit to New York City in the summer of 2009.
