The story in 5 lines · by baba

  • Rabbi Meilech Biderman visited Jerusalem Deputy Mayor Tzachi Barim.
  • The visit followed a large public Sukkot celebration.
  • Biderman thanked Barim for supporting the event.
  • He also praised Barim's help with Lag Ba'omer festivities.
  • Biderman called Barim a true public servant.

During the Sukkot holiday in Jerusalem, Rabbi Meilech Biderman, a prominent Hasidic influencer, visited the sukkah of Jerusalem Deputy Mayor Tzachi Barim. The visit followed a large public celebration of Simchat Beit Hashoeva, organized by the "Shamayim" organization, which drew tens of thousands of attendees.

Rabbi Biderman expressed gratitude to Barim for his support in organizing the central Simchat Beit Hashoeva event for the general Hasidic public in Jerusalem. He praised Barim's willingness to facilitate the large gathering, highlighting his dedication to the needs of the public, particularly the Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) community.

The Rabbi specifically commended Barim's efforts during the Lag Ba'omer holiday, when mass pilgrimages to Mount Meron were restricted due to security concerns. Barim was instrumental in finding alternative solutions and organizing a substitute celebration, allowing many to participate in the festivities.

Rabbi Biderman emphasized that Barim's concern for the Haredi public extends beyond Jerusalem and cited his actions as evidence of being a true "public servant." He concluded the visit by offering a warm blessing for Barim to continue his work for the Haredi community in Israel and the residents of Jerusalem, wishing him health and success.

The visit took place in a warm and uplifting atmosphere, signifying appreciation for Barim's commitment to public needs.
