Yisroel Aryeh Leib Bachar, a Lubavitch bochur from the Chabad Yeshiva in Beitar, will be addressing a special session of the Israeli parliament next week.
In honor of Tu B’Shvat, when the Knesset first convened in 1949 (5709), the Speaker Rubi Rivlin invited youngsters from all walks of life to participate in a session.
Attending will be the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Shimon Peres and leader of the opposition Tzipi Livni.
Dr. Yossi Bar, Director of the Department of Communications at the University of Haifa, was appointed to choose the teens who will address the session.
During the recent Israeli Kinus Hashluchim, Bar met Rabbi Chaim Bachar, Director of Chabad of Givat Zev in Jerusalem, and explained the importance of a religious teenager attending the session.
Rabbi Bachar agreed to allow his son to participate after receiving permission from the Yeshiva in Beiter where his son learns.
