Thousands of Vizhnitz Hasidim gathered for mass prayers at the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron and at Meron on Friday night, seeking divine intervention for the complete recovery of their Rebbe, Rabbi Israel ben Leah Esther.
In Hebron, students from Vizhnitz's large yeshivas congregated at the Cave of the Patriarchs, led by the Rebbe's three sons: Rabbi Chaim Meir Hager, Av Beis Din of Vizhnitz; Rabbi Yitzchak Yisrael Hager; and Rabbi Yaakov Mordechai Hager, Av Beis Din of Vizhnitz Elad. Simultaneously, thousands of Vizhnitz followers assembled in Meron, guided by Rabbi Menachem Ernster, Rosh Yeshiva of Vizhnitz.
During the prayers at the Cave of the Patriarchs, Rabbi Israel Ernster, the yeshiva's mashgiach, delivered an impassioned address, urging the students to persist in their pleas to God for the Rebbe's swift healing. Following this, the attendees recited Psalms with great fervor, then engaged in songs of mercy and awakening, invoking the merit of the Patriarchs with the belief that their prayers would be answered. The gathering concluded with a powerful rendition of the song 'Only Faith in the Creator of All Worlds.'
