The story · English

In the early hours after midnight on Saturday night, a Pidyon Haben (redemption of the firstborn son) celebration took place at the residence of the Modzitz Rebbe in Bnei Brak. The event honored the son of Rabbi Moshe Grass, the eldest son of Rabbi Yosef Yoel Grass, the Av Beit Din of Bar Chaim in Elad, and son-in-law of Rabbi Aharon Sofer, Av Beit Din of Arloi Elad. The child, named Tzvi Elimelech Grass, is the grandson of Rabbi Baruch Kornreich, son-in-law of the Kosov-Vizhnitz Rebbe. The Pidyon Haben was conducted by the Spinka Rebbe of Bnei Brak. The photographer Shuki Lerer documented the event.

This ceremony is a significant traditional Jewish ritual marking the redemption of a firstborn son, and the gathering included prominent Hasidic leaders from various dynasties. The celebration reflects the close familial and spiritual ties among the Hasidic communities in Bnei Brak and Elad.
