Belzer chassidim throughout the United States were heartened and surprised to learn of the plans to build a new city to be named “Kiryas Belz” in a location in the Tri-State Area, adjacent to the existing communities in New York and New Jersey.Â
This will be a new Chassidishe metropolis which will make history and rewrite the map of heimishe communities in North America–a place where Belzer chassidim, and others, will be able to set down roots in an affordable and pleasant atmosphere.Â
The news was first broken by the weekly “HaMachane” publication which is published by the Belzer chassidus–bringing joy to the thousands of Belzer chassidim who reside in New York and New Jersey.Â
The community, which, as noted, is close by to the existing communities, is already being developed for two years in utmost secrecy, and many homes and other infastructural pieces have already been constructed. All the plans and work is being overseen and accompanied by Rav Aharon Mordechai Rokeach, the beloved son of the Belzer Ruv, who is active and encouraging of this historic project.Â
The askonim involved with the project have shared that this new community may be inaugurated in as soon as two or three years from now. The first phase will feature hundreds of completed homes to fill the dire need for housing in the community.Â
The first plot of land being developed stands at 1200 acres, with another 1500 acres for future development under contract.Â
In order to ensure the success of the project, the precise location of the new community is being kept under wraps.
