- Rabbi Tzvi Rotberg participated in Sukkot rituals a year after a heart event.
- He was seen taking the four species during Hallel.
- His students expressed joy at his presence.
- Last year, he was homebound due to medical orders.
Rabbi Tzvi Rotberg, head of the Bnei Brak Yeshiva, was seen performing the mitzvah of taking the four species during the recitation of Hallel at his yeshiva on Devorah HaNevia Street. This marks a significant return for the rabbi, as it was exactly one year ago that he suffered a heart event just before Sukkot. Last year, doctors ordered him to remain home throughout the holiday, preventing him from participating in religious observances with his students.
This year, students expressed particular joy and gratitude to God for the opportunity to pray alongside their rabbi. The sight of Rabbi Rotberg participating in the mitzvah is a source of great happiness and a sign of his recovery.
