Members of the Cabinet, Chief Rabbis Isser Yehuda Unterman and Yitzhak Nissim and Aryeh L. Pincus, chairman of the Jewish Agency executive, were among the dignitaries participating in cornerstone-laying ceremonies for a new building of the Zev Gold Institute for the training of religious teachers to serve Jewish communities abroad.
Adjoining several yeshivot, the new Institute building will be able to house 150 students. The Institute, operated by the Agency’s department of religious education in the Diaspora, has already graduated 500 teachers. The department serves 310 Jewish schools in 30 countries attended by 75,000 Jewish students.
