The story in 4 lines · by baba

  • Rabbi Biderman visited Deputy Mayor Barem's sukkah during Sukkot.
  • He praised Barem's support for the Haredi community.
  • Barem assisted in organizing a major Hasidic Sukkot event.
  • He also helped arrange an alternative Lag Ba'omer celebration.

During the Sukkot holiday celebrations in Jerusalem, influential Rabbi Eliyahu Biderman paid a special visit to the sukkah of Jerusalem Deputy Mayor Tzachi Barem. The visit, which took place following a large public gathering for the Hasidic community, was described as warm and uplifting, expressing gratitude for Barem's dedication to public needs.

Rabbi Biderman praised Barem for his assistance in organizing the central Sukkot celebration for the general Hasidic public in Jerusalem. He highlighted Barem's responsiveness to requests and his commitment to facilitating the event.

The rabbi further commended Barem's broader efforts for the Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) community across Israel, noting his dedication to both individual and collective needs. Biderman cited Barem's role in finding alternative solutions for a Lag Ba'omer celebration when mass pilgrimage to Meron was restricted due to security concerns, enabling many to participate in a communal celebration.

Rabbi Biderman concluded the visit by offering a warm blessing to Tzachi Barem, wishing him continued health and success in serving the Haredi public in Israel, particularly the residents of Jerusalem.
