The story · English

The Vizhnitz Hassidic court is undertaking a significant expansion of its temporary main prayer hall ahead of the High Holidays (Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur) and Sukkot. The current facility has become too small to accommodate the growing number of worshippers, particularly during the holiday season when hundreds of guests from Israel and abroad visit.

The expansion will add over a thousand new seats, aiming to provide ample space for prayers during the Days of Awe, Sukkot, and Simchat Torah, as well as other court events. The temporary prayer hall has served as the central venue for prayers, gatherings, and holy ceremonies for the Vizhnitz community in recent years.
