A group of nine American Hassidim, members of an ultra-Orthodox sect, will leave for Israel tomorrow on an El Al plane. Kalman A. Pataki, a Canadian-born member of the sect, and Solomon Brillich, intend to settle permanently in Israel. The seven teen-agers in the group will continue their religious study in the Yeshivah established in Israel by Rabbi Y. Halberstam of Williamsburg, Brookly known as the Klausenberg Rebbe.
Klausenberg disciples have decided to build a township, Kiryat Sanz, in Nathanya, on a coastal point midway between Tel Aviv and Haifa. A community of 600 families is planned. Eighty families are now established at Kiryat Sanz, foundations for which were laid by Rabbi Halberstam on a visit last summer. The Rabbi expects that he and his followers will settle at Kiryat Sanz soon.
