  • Vizhnitz Rebbe's sons and students prayed for his recovery at the Cave of the Patriarchs.
  • The prayer service took place in Hebron on Friday night.
  • Rabbi Israel Ernster urged the students to pray fervently.
  • The gathering included Psalms, songs, and a communal chant of 'Nar Emunah'.

The sons of the Vizhnitz Rebbe gathered with students from the Vizhnitz yeshivas for a communal prayer service at the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron on Friday night. The prayer was held for the complete recovery of Rabbi Yisrael ben Leah Esther, the Vizhnitz Rebbe.

Leading the prayers were three of the Rebbe's sons: Rabbi Chaim Meir Hager, Av Beis Din of Vizhnitz; Rabbi Yitzchak Yisayahu Hager; and Rabbi Yaakov Mordechai Hager, Av Beis Din of Vizhnitz Elad. They prayed for the Rebbe's health, alongside the health of all the Jewish people.

Following the evening prayer, the yeshiva supervisor, Rabbi Israel Ernster, delivered an impassioned speech, urging the students to continue praying fervently for a speedy recovery from heaven. The students then recited Psalms with great fervor and sang songs of mercy and awakening, based on the merit of the Patriarchs, expressing faith that their prayers would be answered. The gathering concluded with a powerful rendition of the song 'Nar Emunah' (Only Faith in the Creator of the Universe).
