Vizhnitz Rebbe from Beit Shemesh to Lead Sabbath Prayers in Bnei Brak Amid Global Hasidic Gatherings
This Sabbath marks the 22nd yahrzeit of the Lelov Jerusalem Rebbe, with his successor conducting commemorative meals in Jerusalem's Beit Israel neighborhood. Various prominent Hasidic leaders are holding Sabbath prayers and gatherings worldwide: the Rachmistrivka Rebbe in Isawater, the Vizhnitz Rebbe from Jerusalem in Kiryat Vizhnitz Kiryat, and his brother from London in Enfield among others. Notably, the Vizhnitz Rebbe from Beit Shemesh will lead prayers and tishes at his Beit Midrash on Meltzer Street in Bnei Brak.
Other Rebbes are convening in locations significant to their dynasties, including Kasaan in Lakewood, Zvehil in Jerusalem's Old City, and various European cities such as Kerestir in Hungary, Bischtnah in Ukraine, and Lizhensk in Poland. Many are also resting in camps and resorts across the US, Europe, and Israel, including Satmar in New Hampshire and Svan Lake, and Sanz in Caesarea.
The article also highlights special celebrations marking births and yahrzeits within Hasidic families, including the Lelov, Satmar, and Babov dynasties. Prayers for the health of leading Torah figures continue in major yeshivas like Mir in Modiin Illit, with memorial events scheduled for Rabbi Aryeh Finkel and others.
The public is urged to welcome the Sabbath early to merit health and recovery for the sick and wounded amid ongoing conflicts. Detailed candle lighting and Havdalah times are provided for cities in Israel and worldwide, including New York, London, Antwerp, Zurich, Paris, and Moscow.
