Rabbi Ezekiel Lipschitz, Rabbi of the Jewish community in Kalisz, will leave for the United States next week at the request of the Union of Orthodox Rabbis in the United States.
Rabbi Lipschitz, who is the president of the Union of Rabbis in the Republic of Poland, is making the journey in the interest of the Agunoth, the Jewish women in Poland who have been separated from their husbands.
At a recent conference of the Polish Rabbis, a resolution was adopted, imploring the President of the United States to permit the entry into the country, over the quota, of women whose husbands are in the United States.
