The story · English

Several prominent Hasidic rebbes met in Jerusalem for a blessing exchange, including the Rebbe of Vizhnitz visiting his brother-in-law, the Rebbe of Belz. This gathering occurred as the Rebbe of Vizhnitz was released from Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem following a successful cardiac procedure. He had undergone the treatment after being hospitalized on Rosh Hashanah.

In other news, the Rebbe of Sanz-Klausenburg met with the Rebbe of Bobov 45 in Jerusalem during the recent holiday period. The Rebbe of Ungvar's son marked 15 years since his father's passing with a memorial feast and visited his father's grave in Tzfat. The Vizhnitz community celebrated the engagement of the Rebbe's granddaughter.

Meanwhile, Rabbi Shaul Alter, head of the Yeshiva 'Bnei Tzion', laid the cornerstone for a new global center in Jerusalem, which will include a synagogue, ritual bath, and Talmudic study hall. The article also notes the Rebbe of Modzitz underwent a cardiac catheterization after being hospitalized on Rosh Hashanah, with prayers requested for his recovery. The Rebbe of Skver held a ceremony for the annulment of vows on the eve of Yom Kippur, attended by thousands of followers. The Rebbe of Satmar appeared in ancient inherited garments during Rosh Hashanah, drawing excitement from his followers in Kiryas Joel, New York. The Bobov Hasidic community in Borough Park, Brooklyn, also celebrated Rosh Hashanah with their Rebbe, accommodating large crowds with special galleries.

A significant agreement was reached between the Gur Hasidic community and the community of Rabbi Gershon Eidelstein, mediated by a court president, to end a dispute. The agreement involves the Gur faction taking responsibility and refraining from harassment, while the other party waives financial claims. The article also mentions Rosh Hashanah celebrations in Seret Vizhnitz in Haifa and in Sanz in Netanya, where the Rebbe offered blessings for the Vizhnitz and Belz rebbes' recovery.
