Editing Reb Zushe Wilmowsky (section)

== Member of the Umbrella Organization ==
R' Zusha served as a board member of the umbrella organization of Chabad institutions. The organization, in which the heads of Chabad activists in the Holy Land were members, was established by the Rebbe in 5733 and was effectively the body that directed and coordinated all Chabad institutional activities in the Holy Land, with its areas of activity including all branches of Chabad public activism. The umbrella organization dealt with, among other things, coordination between institutions, representation to the government for obtaining budgets and more, advocacy for appointing Chabad rabbis to neighborhood and city rabbinical positions, deciding and coordinating on establishing new institutions, establishing synagogues and Chabad houses, connection with various Haredi groups, organizing national events, and more.

The board members of the umbrella organization were the heads of Chabad's central institutions in Israel in those days: Rabbi Efraim Wolff as director of the central Tomchei Tmimim Yeshiva, Rabbi Shlomo Maidanchik as chairman of the Kfar Chabad committee, Rabbi Aryeh Leib Kaplan as shliach to Safed and director of Chabad institutions in the city, Rabbi Shmuel Chefer as director of Beit Rivka Kfar Chabad. These four activists would gather at regular times, usually in the office of Tomchei Tmimim Yeshiva Lod, and discuss matters on the agenda.

On the 18th of Tevet 5742, R' Zusha Wilmowsky was added to the organization's management, and this was after receiving an answer from the Rebbe that he could work part-time in the umbrella organization (meaning in a part-time position, while also working in other roles). R' Zusha Wilmowsky's role in the umbrella organization was coordination between the organization and Chabad institutions in the Holy Land.
