Historic Step Toward Achdus: Aguch and Crown Heights Beis Din Announce Renewed Cooperation

Agudas Chassidei Chabad and the Crown Heights Beis Din have announced that they will resume working together, marking a significant development for the Chabad community.

The announcement was made through official letters released by both institutions, signaling a renewed push toward cooperation and unity.

The two institutions had not worked together for many years, making the renewal a notable moment in the history of Chabad and of Crown Heights.

The renewal follows a meeting held on Wednesday, 24 Cheshvan 5787, that brought together representatives of Aguch and the Rabbonim of the Crown Heights Badatz.

According to the letter issued by the Badatz, once the relevant matters were discussed and clarified, the two parties agreed to move forward together. The Badatz also affirmed that the structure and organization of Aguch are in accordance with the wishes of the Rebbe.

The Aguch letter, dated 2 Kislev, welcomed the outcome of the meeting and expressed support for working together for the honor of the Rebbe and for achdus among Chassidim.

The Badatz letter was signed by Harav Avrohom Osdoba and Harav Yosef Yeshaya Braun, with the endorsement of Harav Sholom Ber Chaikin, Rov of the Lubavitch community in Cleveland.

Both letters close with the hope that the renewed cooperation will lead to further positive developments, and with a blessing that peace prevail in their midst.
