President Donald Trump is expected to be accompanied by several leading American business figures, including Elon Musk and Tim Cook, during his upcoming visit to China, according to a Monday report by Bloomberg News citing a White House official.

Also slated to be part of the delegation are David Solomon, Stephen Schwarzman, Larry Fink, Jane Fraser, and Dina Powell McCormick, among more than a dozen high-ranking corporate leaders expected to participate in meetings alongside Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The trip is being framed as an effort to secure a range of commercial agreements and investment deals between the United States and China, with the presence of top executives intended to facilitate negotiations and strengthen economic ties, the report said.

The companies involved did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Reuters.

Chinese officials have confirmed that Trump’s state visit is scheduled to take place from May 13 through May 15, according to the state-run Xinhua News Agency.

Khal Adath Jeshurun (KAJ) in Washington Heights, NY has elected Rav Liron Rogovsky as the new rov of the kehillah following the announced departure of Rav Yisroel Mantel after two decades of leadership.

Rav Rogovsky, a resident of Chestnut Ridge, New York, currently serves as rosh kollel of Kollel Tiferes Avrohom and as dean of Bais Yaakov Meoros Rav Hirsch, both located in Monsey. He is a talmid of Yeshivas Ner Yisroel of Baltimore and Yeshivas Mir Yerushalayim.

Alan Ettlinger, president of KAJ, welcomed the appointment, saying, “The kehillah looks forward to Rav Rogovsky leading us in this new chapter in our notable history. As the successor to a line of great rabbonim, beginning with Rav Shamshon Raphael Hirsch many decades ago, we feel that Rav Rogovsky is a worthy choice to follow in their footsteps.”

The transition follows Rav Mantel’s announcement shortly after Sukkos that he would be leaving to assume the position of rov in Gateshead, England. In response, KAJ established a Rabbinical Search Committee tasked with identifying a suitable candidate to lead one of the most prominent kehillos.

“It has been an honor and a kavod to have led this kehillah kedosha for the last 20 years. Under the leadership of Rav Rogovsky, the kehillah should continue meichayil el choyil,” Rav Mantel said.

After a search process spanning more than six months, the committee presented Rav Rogovsky’s candidacy to the Board of Trustees, which subsequently brought the nomination before the membership. At a special meeting held last Sunday evening, members overwhelmingly voted to approve his appointment.

Rav Rogovsky is expected to relocate to Washington Heights and assume leadership of the kehillah prior to the Yomim Noraim, marking the beginning of a new chapter for KAJ.
