The Ashkenazic chief Rabbi of Israel Rabbi Dovid Lau arrived in the US Sunday morning and met with both members of the Agudas harabonim and the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah of Agudas Yisrael of America. The meeting took place in a side room of  MTJ- yeshiva mesivta Tiferes yerushalayim on the Lower east side of Manhattan. They spoke about various subjects including issues pertaining to Geirus  and recognized conversions with the chief rabbinate in Israel. Upon hearing the tragic news out of Eretz Yisrael of the kidnapped bochurim H''YD the trip was cut short.
Rabbi Lau was compelled to rush on the first available flight back to Israel so that he can be present at the teens’ funeral Prior to departure at JFK the Rabbi paid a visit to the Ohel nearby as Lubavitch commemorates 20 years since the passing of the Lubavitcher Rebbe on 3 Tamuz.
