The seventh mobile synagogue organized by the Chief Rabbi’s Emergency Council was consecrated today and will leave for Germany this week-end, together with a convoy of six trucks filled with food, clothing and religious appurtenances. The synagogue was donated by the American Vaad Hatzala organization. Travelling with the synagogue will be a team of twelve relief workers, including four rabbis.
