Over the years, as the Belz communities ‘reborn’ in Israel and around the world matured and stabilized, the Rebbe shlita decided that the time was ripe to shift the emphasis from the educational institutions to rebuild the cultural and social aspects of Belz. This was no small task. Post-war Jewish communities are mostly located in the big cities a...
