Representatives of the Degel HaTorah faction in the Bnei Brak municipality celebrated the joy of the holiday this year in the Schimel family's sukkah. Mayor Hanoch Seibert came to participate.
Rabbi Avraham Rubinstein, Deputy Mayor Menachem Shapira, and council representatives spoke at the event.
The holiday party for members of Knesset and Degel HaTorah representatives in municipalities, held every year in the sukkat of Menachem Shapira, the deputy mayor of Bnei Brak who is also - in a different hat - the director of Degel HaTorah's municipal department, will be held this year on Shabbat evening in the sukkat of Yated Ne'eman CEO Zelig Orlansky, in Netanya.
Reason 1: Lack of space in the Shapira Sukkah. Reason 2: This year the number of invitations doubled because the number of Degel representatives across the country doubled, and now there are close to 100 representatives.
