The Rebbe of Vizhnitz made a surprise visit to offer condolences to the mourner, who is sitting shiva for his mother. The mourner was a close associate of the Rebbe of Vizhnitz until about a decade ago, when he left the "court." The two had not met face-to-face since, and the Rebbe of Vizhnitz had not attended recent council meetings where the mourner was present.
During the visit, the Rebbe of Vizhnitz spoke words of comfort to the mourner and reminisced about the latter's father, Rabbi Baruch the mourner, who served as the general secretary for many Vizhnitz institutions. The Rebbe of Sanz also attended the shiva to offer his condolences.
The visit comes as many people are flocking to console the mourner during the traditional seven-day mourning period.
