Rabbi Aizik Landa, the Chassidic Chief Rabbi of the city of Bnei Brak, visited New York this week following receiving official recognition from the Chief Rabbinate of Israel.
Members of the Rabbinate voted to recognize Rabbi Landa as the “Kashrus supplier” of his city, as he took over the highly regarded “Rabbi Landa” kosher agency built by his grandfather, Rabbi Yaakov Landa and father Rabbi Moshe Landa, of blessed memory.
The recognition, read by Israel’s Sephardic Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yossef, was requested by Chabad Rabbi Shimon Elituv who is recovering from an illness.
Sources said the recognition does not impede on the historic compromise that Rabbi Aizik Landa serve alongside Rabbi Shevach Tzvi Rosenblatt, a Litvish Rosh Kollel and member of the She’eris Yisroel kosher agency.
In New York, Rabbi Landa was first seen at the Rebbe’s Ohel at the Old Montefiore Cemetery in Cambria Heights, Queens, where he sat down to write a personal ‘pan’ note of request for blessings.
He met there with Rabbi Avraham Shemtov, Chairman of Agudas Chassidei Chabad International, who was visiting the Ohel with Ronald Perelman, businessman, investor, and philanthropist to Chabad causes.
Later, Rabbi Landa visited Lubavitch World Headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway, where he taught a class on laws of the Bais Hamikdosh and then led a Chassidic farbrengen with the Israel-born bochurim of the Yeshiva, many of them his former students at Yeshiva Chassidei Chabad in Tzfas, Israel.
