Thousands of Hasidim gathered at the Tolded Aaron (תולדות אהרן) Hasidic community in Jerusalem on the evening of Simchat Torah for a unique tradition. Starting at 5:00 AM, followers were eager to receive an apple, a custom associated with the Rebbe of Tolded Aaron.

The tradition involves the distribution of apples, symbolizing a blessing or a specific custom observed by the Hasidic group. The large crowd underscores the devotion and adherence to the Rebbe's practices within the community.
