The Skver Hasidic community is abuzz with excitement over the upcoming visit of two sons of the Skver Rebbe to Israel. Rabbi Aharon Mendel Tversky, the Rebbe's eldest son, and his younger brother, Rabbi Chaim Meir Tversky, are scheduled to arrive for a significant spiritual journey across the Holy Land. The visit, planned for the Hebrew month of Tevet, will include stops at holy sites from the north to the south, including Jerusalem. This trip comes ahead of the upcoming joyous occasions of their children's weddings.
Many Hasidim are planning to join the brothers on this pilgrimage, seeing it as a rare opportunity to visit the land and pray at sacred locations. The last visit by their father, the Rebbe of Skver, to Israel was approximately a decade ago, and no similar trip had been anticipated until now. The brothers' visit is seen by the community as a chance to unite in prayer at these holy sites.
A highlight of the journey will be a Shabbat in Jerusalem, attended by Skver Hasidim from Israel and abroad. The brothers are also expected to lead a large public ceremony and bonfire lighting at the holy site of Meron. Preparations within the Hasidic community are underway, with registration for the trip ongoing.
