The story · English

The Rebbe of the Toldos Aharon Hasidic dynasty made a special visit to the home of his brother, the Rebbe of the Toldos Avrohom Yitzchok Hasidic dynasty, in the Mea Shearim neighborhood of Jerusalem. The purpose of the visit was for the brothers to bless each other ahead of the new Jewish year.

The two Rebbes engaged in a private conversation for an hour and a half, without the presence of their aides or close associates. This private meeting is considered a rare occurrence in recent years.

At the conclusion of their discussion, in a gesture described as particularly unusual, the Toldos Avrohom Yitzchok Rebbe personally escorted his brother to the exit. The brothers parted with warm blessings.

The meeting, which took place in Mea Shearim, was documented with photographs capturing the beginning of the encounter.
