Kiryat Gat Community Marks Seventh Anniversary of Rebbe's Passing

Last week, the Kiryat Gat Chassidic community of Kretschneff marked the seventh anniversary of the passing of their revered leader, the Admor Ba'al Ha'Noam Yisrael of Kretschneff-Kiryat Gat. On the evening of the anniversary, his son and successor, the Rebbe of Kiryat Gat, held a celebratory feast and a completion ceremony for the study of the entire Talmud (Siyum HaShas). The event took place at the Great Synagogue in the Ramot David neighborhood of Kretschneff in Kiryat Gat, drawing hundreds of Chassidim and students.

During the gathering, the Rebbe of Kiryat Gat shared memories of his father's profound holiness and stature. Following this, the completion of the Talmud study, undertaken by the Chassidic community over the past year, was celebrated. The Rebbe delivered a discourse on the final Talmudic passage studied and recited the traditional "Hadran" and Kaddish prayers.

The event was also attended by the late Rebbe's sons-in-law, city rabbis, community activists, public figures, and a large number of residents from Kiryat Gat and surrounding areas.
