The Belz Hassidic community is celebrating the engagement of Elazar Yechiel Shraga Rokeach, the tenth grandson of the Belz Rebbe. Rokeach, a prominent student at the 'Yismach Lev' yeshiva in Ashdod, is the son of Rabbi Aharon Mordechai Rokeach of Belz. He is engaged to the daughter of Rabbi Shalom Gross, a rabbinical judge in Jerusalem, who is the son of Rabbi Reuven Gross, a head of the 'Sha'ar HaShamayim' yeshiva, and the son-in-law of Rabbi Shammai Gross, a member of the 'Machzikei Hadat' rabbinical court.
This marks the tenth grandchild to get engaged or married, and the seventh among the Rebbe's grandsons. Several other grandchildren have already married, including Rabbi Shalom Rokeach, Rabbi Avraham Shmuel Tzvi Rokeach, Rabbi Elimelech Natan Neta Rokeach, Rabbi Chaim Meir Rokeach, Rabbi David Rokeach, Rabbi Yisrael Menachem Nachum Rokeach, and granddaughters married to Rabbi Avraham Saprin, Rabbi Shalom Aryeh Tzvi, and Rabbi Elimelech Fenster.
The engagement celebration, known as a 'vort', will take place this evening (Wednesday) at the Rebbe's residence in Jerusalem. The main engagement ceremony is scheduled for Saturday night, the upcoming Shabbat beginning the weekly Torah portion of 'Bereishit'.
