During the Sukkot holiday, prominent Lithuanian yeshiva leaders visited the sukkah of Rabbi Boruch Dov Povarsky, a leading figure in the Lithuanian Haredi community and Rosh Yeshiva of the Ponevezh Yeshiva. The visits, documented in extensive photographs, highlight the respect and reverence accorded to Rabbi Povarsky.

Separately, the article also notes a celebration with Rabbi Chananya Breitkopf, referred to as "the young Gaon," with attendees remarking, "His fire will burn until the coming of the Messiah." This event also drew a large crowd of rabbis and the general public.
