Editing Colel chabad (section)

== Period of the Previous Rebbe ==
In 1924, 'Special Colel Chabad' united with Colel Chabad under the Previous Rebbe's presidency.

From when the Previous Rebbe accepted the Colel presidency, a presidency committee was established:

President - The Previous Rebbe Presidency Committee Members:

* Rabbi Shlomo Yehuda Leib Eliezerov
* Rabbi Menachem Mendel Na'eh
* Rabbi Mordechai Reuven Rokach
* Rabbi Yisrael Asher Liba

Executive Committee Members:

* R' David Levanon
* R' Mendel Landa
* R' Yehuda Leib Slonim
* Rabbi Yitzchak Avigdor Orenstein

During this period, Rabbi Orenstein was one of the Colel's active managers. Rabbi Orenstein devoted all his energy and skills to wisely manage this old Colel's needs. In his service to the Colel, he was like a father to hundreds of poor families in the Chabad settlement, its widows and orphans.

In 1948, he was killed in the War of Independence.

Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Na'eh, brother of Colel management member Rabbi Chaim Na'eh, was appointed as Colel Chabad manager in place of Rabbi Orenstein.

In late 1949, the Previous Rebbe appointed new managers:

* Rabbi Azriel Zelig Slonim
* Rabbi Avraham Chaim Na'eh - elected as Colel management member after his father Rabbi Menachem Mendel Na'eh's passing in 1938
