The story · English

The Rebbe of Toldot Avraham Yitzchak made a heartfelt visit to Ramat Beit Shemesh D, a neighborhood he refers to as the "City Above," where his son Rabbi Yoel Kahan leads the local community. This rare visit took place as the Rebbe was returning from his vacation residence in Kiryat Me'azritch on Har Yona to his holy home in Jerusalem.

Upon arrival, hundreds of children from the Hasidic community greeted the Rebbe with singing and joyous melodies. The Rebbe then held a festive tish (gathering) outdoors on the site designated for the community's new study hall. During the event, he delivered passionate and inspiring words, praising the dedication of the community's scholars who committed hundreds of thousands of shekels to fund the new building.

The Rebbe also expressed profound admiration for his son, Rabbi Yoel Kahan, the community's spiritual leader, bestowing abundant blessings for expanding the sanctity of the area and divine assistance in all his endeavors. At the afternoon prayer, an unusual scene unfolded as the Rebbe, who customarily avoids praying outdoors, conducted the service inside a nearby parking garage.

This visit underscored the strong familial and spiritual bonds within the Toldot Avraham Yitzchak Hasidic community and highlighted ongoing efforts to develop communal infrastructure in Ramat Beit Shemesh D.
