In other news, thousands of Vizhnitz Hassidim gathered in Meron on Friday night for a prayer rally for the complete recovery of their Grand Rabbi, Rabbi Israel ben Leah Esther. The prayer service was led by his brother-in-law, Rabbi Menachem Ernster, head of the Vizhnitz Yeshiva, who urged the community to pray fervently for their leader.
Additionally, thousands of Sanz Hassidim attended the wedding of the granddaughter of the Grand Rabbi of Sanz last week. The bride is the daughter of Rabbi Abraham Halberstam, Av Beit Din of Kiryat Sanz Tiberias and the North, and the groom is the son of Rabbi Israel Lemberger, Av Beit Din of Makova, and grandson of the Grand Rabbi of Dzhikov-Vizhnitz.

In a legal development, Rabbi Eliezer Yehoshua Yudkovsky was declared the sole holder of the "Stutshin" Hassidic name, while the court of Rabbi Mordechai Menashe Zilber ruled his group will be known as Ropshitz-Stutshin. The two rabbis are reportedly planning a summit meeting.
