After a decade of estrangement, the Rebbe of Vizhnitz visited Rabbi Yaakov Weltzer, the secretary of the Council of Torah Sages, on Monday morning to offer condolences on the passing of his mother. The visit marks a significant historical event for the Hasidic community.

Rabbi Weltzer was formerly a close associate of the Rebbe of Vizhnitz, but the two had a falling out approximately ten years ago, leading to a period of no contact. The Rebbe's decision to visit Rabbi Weltzer during his time of mourning is seen as a major step towards reconciliation.
