Rabbi Gershon Hirsch, a leading Lithuanian Torah figure, departed for Toronto, Canada, on a fundraising trip for World Torah Fund (Keren Olam HaTorah), footage shows. The trip follows a recent US departure covered by Channel 12; this leg focuses on the Canadian Jewish community.
Rabbi Gershon Hirsch departed Tuesday evening for Toronto, Canada, on a fundraising mission for Keren Olam HaTorah (World Torah Fund), according to footage posted on a Hebrew-language news channel on Telegram. The footage shows Rabbi Hirsch walking toward the aircraft.
As The Zioneer previously reported on June 20, Rabbi Hirsch departed for the US on a fundraising campaign benefiting yeshivas and kollels whose students do not serve in the IDF. The Toronto leg represents a separate swing within the same tour, with a focus on Canada's Jewish philanthropic community.
