 Though Scheinberg was skeptical about relocating his family and his American yeshiva to Israel, he made a pilot trip to tour the development and decided that it could work.Rabbi Akiva Ehrenfeld, who was in charge of the construction and sale of the apartments, encouraged Scheinberg to move his yeshiva to Jerusalem by offering attractive terms for apartments and land for the yeshiva.The Scheinbergs, their eldest daughter Fruma Rochel and her family, their son Simcha and his family, and over 20 of Scheinberg's students moved into their new apartments in Kiryat Mattersdorf in May 1965.
