The Kiryat Gat Hassidic community of Kretschneff marked the seventh anniversary of the passing of their spiritual leader, Rabbi "Na'am Yisrael" of Kretschneff-Kiryat Gat, on Monday evening, November 11th. The current Rebbe, who is the son and successor of the deceased leader, led a celebratory meal and a completion of the Talmudic study cycle (Siyum Hashas) at the Great Synagogue in the "Ramot David" neighborhood of Kretschneff in Kiryat Gat. Hundreds of Hassidim and students attended the event to commemorate the former Rebbe and his teachings. During the gathering, the current Rebbe shared memories of his father's holiness and greatness, followed by the Siyum Hashas, which was completed by the community over the past year. He concluded the ceremony with the traditional "Hadran" prayer and Kaddish.
