The story · English

On Saturday night, two months after Lag B'Omer, the Spinka Jerusalem Rebbe lit a bonfire in Miron, continuing a long-standing Hasidic tradition. The group spent Shabbat at the holy site ahead of the yahrzeit of the ‘Ateret Tzvi’ of Ziditshov, and the event included the conclusion of the third Shabbat meal, the lighting ceremony, and a halakha celebration for the rebbe’s grandson and great-grandson.

The article says the entire Spinka Jerusalem community has for many years spent Shabbat in Miron for this annual commemoration. The ceremony was presented as part of the sect’s customary pilgrimage to the site, which is treated as sacred in Hasidic practice.

The text appears alongside other Hasidic news items from recent days, including large gatherings, weddings, and religious events in Bnei Brak, Netanya, Beit Shemesh, Montreal, Williamsburg, and other Hasidic centers. No further details were given about the Miron ceremony beyond the participation of the rebbe and the family celebration.

The report adds that photos and video were published from the end of the third meal, the bonfire lighting, and the halakha event.
