Tens of thousands of citizens throughout the country took part in the activities of the religious councils during the interwar period.
The religious councils, which set themselves the goal of making religious services accessible to the entire public, held events and activities in 129 different locations.
As part of the extensive activity, inter-temporal yeshivahs, Torah classes and lectures for men, women and youth, as well as Torah cultural events were held. The goal was to provide citizens with an opportunity for study and spiritual enrichment during this period as well, while emphasizing relevant and interesting topics.
Director General of the Ministry of Religious Services, Yehuda Avidan: "The impressive scope of activity of the religious councils in the interwar period is testimony to their power and importance as a central factor in making religious services accessible to the general public. The councils are the spearhead of this national mission, and we see utmost importance in strengthening them and expanding their blessed activity for the benefit of all citizens.""
Chairman of the Religious Councils, Shlomo Tanami: "The heads of the religious councils and secretaries work day and night to provide the public with a rich and meaningful spiritual response throughout the year. We are happy to see the great response to the activities that took place across the country, and are preparing to continue the activity in preparation for the Tishrei holidays with the aim of bringing the tradition of Israel closer and making it accessible to all citizens of Israel.""
