Chassidim of Pshevorsk from across the Holy Land convened in Jerusalem for a special Melaveh Malka ceremony to commemorate the yahrzeit of the Admor, Rabbi Yaakov of Pshevorsk. The event aimed to honor his memory and share his teachings with the younger generation.
A central part of the gathering was a panel discussion featuring elder chassidim and scholars, some of whom were not originally Pshevorsk chassidim but had lived in Antwerp in their youth and were inspired by Rabbi Yaakov's piety and conduct. Participants included Rabbi Yisrael Miller, a member of the Vizhnitz Beit Din; Rabbi Chaim Elazar Pazen, who served as Rabbi Yaakov's attendant; and Rabbi Moshe Yitzchak Larinz, a Rosh Mesivta at the Machnovka-Belz Yeshiva. These speakers shared profound memories and elevated teachings they witnessed from the Admor.
The blessing of the Admor of Pshevorsk for the occasion was conveyed by his grandson, Rabbi Alter Yitzchak Rottenberg. The event was moderated by Rabbi Sinai Padowa.
