Modzitz Rebbe Leads Holiday Prayers with Ancient Chants and Large Citron

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

The Rebbe of Modzitz is performing the traditional "waving of the Lulav and Etrog" ritual daily during the intermediate days of the Sukkot holiday. This observance takes place in the old study hall of his court in Bnei Brak, accompanied by the singing of ancient Hallel melodies, following the established custom of the Modzitz Hasidic dynasty.

As part of his observance of this commandment, the Rebbe customarily uses a particularly large and beautiful etrog, a citron fruit, which is considered fitting and customary according to tradition.
