		Lupolianski is best known for founding Israel's largest volunteer organization, Yad Sarah, a nonprofit group that donates medical equipment and services to more than 325,000 people in need.
		Lupolianski dresses in the traditional fl garb and skullcap of the ultra-Orthodox and seems to avoid the trappings of power.
		But Lupolianski, a member of the United Torah Judaism party, has set up a wholly religious coalition and flatly rejected an attempt by opposition leaders to write into the law the rights of the secular and the observant, saying it was better to preserve the balance by working informally.

		Jerusalem Mayor Uri Lupolianski plans to rezone the Arab neighborhood of Wadi Joz for the purpose of settling Jews in the area.

		Lupolianski's letter also mentioned that the rezoning is needed for security reasons as the Arab Wadi Joz neighborhood overlooks the main road to Ma'aleh Adumim settlement and Emek Tzurim national park.

		Lupolianski, who smiles constantly as if to demonstrate haredi harmlessness, won the municipal election last June by reassuring non-haredim that he would apply just this kind of tolerant approach to the city.
		Still, the problem with judging Lupolianski as an individual rather than as a haredi is that, by definition, being haredi means sacrificing individuality for the community.

		Lupolianski has fostered ties to the city’s secular and liberal residents for years, winning friends and admirers through his management of the not-for-profit Yad Sarah organization, which supplies free medical equipment to the disabled.
		The accession of Lupolianski, a 51-year-old father of 12, prompted some secularists to warn that the showcase city would be turned into an ultra-Orthodox theocracy under the indirect control of Lupolianski’s mentor, Rabbi Shalom Yosef Elyashiv, leader of the Ashkenazic ultra-Orthodox rabbinate.
		Lupolianski has sharply denounced the demonstrations, reportedly recognizing that he must maintain control of his own constituency if he is to have any chance to govern the city at large.

	United Jerusalem - - Israel-News Today -- 2/12/2007

		And then, after work had started and the cabinet approved its continuation, Lupolianski froze it until the proper process by the Municipal Planning and Construction Commission could be implemented, including allowing residents to air their objections.
		Lupolianski insists that he has all required authorization, but Alalo says all of his attempts to see it failed.

		In the Jerusalem voting Tuesday, acting mayor Uri Lupolianski easily beat millionaire businessman Nir Barkat, capitalizing on a high turnout in the city's ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods, and relative apathy among its secular population.
		Lupolianski received 52 percent of the vote, compared to 42 percent for Barkat.
		Secular residents have been worried that Lupolianski would divert large portions of the city's budget to his impoverished constituents, most of whom choose a life of Torah study over work and depend on government welfare and charity for subsistence.

		The meeting came 48 hours after Lupolianski, in a stunning about-face, announced that he had decided to freeze the Safdie Plan to build 20,000 housing units on more than 26 square km.
		Asked to explain the decision, Lupolianski said the Safdie Plan would take too long to ameliorate the city's housing shortage, stressing that even if it went forward no new homes would be built until 2020.

	"In a Jerusalem Praying for Unity, Sectarianism Widens the Divide - Forward.com"
		On the other hand, I have long been familiar with the legendary charitable deeds that Mayor Lupolianski has performed through his Yad Sarah Foundation, and a number of my Jerusalem friends who are acquainted with the mayor have assured me that he is a man of extraordinary kindness and concern.
		Mayor Lupolianski had also rightly pledged from his first moment in office to be the mayor of all the people.
		The subsequent failure of Mayor Lupolianski to meet with our Board of Governors was therefore extremely disappointing, and I could not help but reflect upon other events in modern Jewish history when the fruits of an uncalled-for sectarianism led to needless damage and hurt for the Jewish people.

		Jerusalem Mayor Uri Lupolianski declared that a local Sages Council will soon be established, comprised of religious and secular leaders representing the three predominant monotheistic faiths.
		One of the topics raised in those meetings was the lack of direct dialogue between the various communities populating the city, which is one of the most diverse in the world.
		In light of this reality, Lupolianski believes that regular meetings of the council, several times a year, will promote inter-cultural dialogue and improve the quality of life for all the people of Jerusalem.

		Lupolianski told the students how much he valued their coming to Jerusalem this year, and he invited them to be his guests again at some later point in City Hall.
		His sense of humor was quite disarming, and after he finished speaking he listened respectfully as I addressed him regarding the commitment of HUC to the city of Jerusalem and the Jewish people.
