Amshinover Rebbe Breaks Yom Kippur Fast After Intense Spiritual Devotion

By כיכר השבת, חיים רוזנבוים
Translated & summarized from Kikar HaShabbat by baba
The story · English

The Amshinover Rebbe concluded his Yom Kippur observance this morning after three days of intense spiritual work and prayer. The Rebbe's devotion included extended periods of prayer that lasted into the late morning hours and a prolonged fast, which he supplemented with an intravenous drip to sustain himself.

The dramatic and uplifting moments of his observance, from the start of Yom Kippur until the Havdalah ceremony and breaking of the fast, were described by his followers. The Rebbe's commitment to his spiritual duties during the holy day was evident throughout the entire period.
