Chairman of Shlomi Emunim, MK Meir Porush: "The heart expands to see the empire of Torah and Hasidism being built here in Beit Shemesh. The Sanz Hasidic education center and the 'Bnot Melech' kindergartens are living testimony to the amazing flourishing of the holy communities and the great privilege that has fallen to our lot to care for them. We have invested, and are still investing, enormous resources so that every boy and girl will have the opportunity to study in worthy, bright, and respectful permanent buildings.".
""I would like to thank my friend Mayor Rabbi Shmuel Greenberg for the fruitful cooperation, and our dedicated representatives, Rabbi Shimon Goldberg and Rabbi Avraham Nachman Frankel, who work day and night for the general Hasidic community in the city. We will continue to work together so that Beit Shemesh continues to lead as a city and mother in Israel.".
Mayor Shmuel Greenberg: "This is a historic day for Beit Shemesh. We are moving from one building to another, all new buildings, and educating the future of the children of Beit Shemesh. Over 100 new and luxurious classrooms for the benefit of thousands of students who are moving from temporary buildings to a permanent building. I thank all our partners along the way.".
Chairman of the Hasidic faction, Deputy Mayor Shimon Goldberg: "The opening of the current school year symbolizes a significant leap forward in the education system in Beit Shemesh. Dozens of educational institutions throughout the city moved into new and upgraded buildings this year, as part of an unprecedented construction and allocation boom that provides a solution for all the city's children.
""Within this broad municipal effort, we place special emphasis on the needs of the Hasidic community, whose communities continue to grow and develop at a tremendous pace, and we work to provide Torah and educational institutions with the buildings and infrastructure they deserve. For us, each new building is a home for an entire community and a response to thousands of families, present and future.".
""I thank Shlomi Emunim Chairman MK Meir Porush for his firm stand on the right of the Hasidic public and for his ongoing assistance, and Mayor Shmuel Greenberg for his partnership and commitment to the momentum of educational construction. With God's help, we will continue to work so that every community in the city can grow and develop with the appropriate response to its needs.".
