The Zvhail Hasidic community joyfully celebrated the brit milah (circumcision ceremony) of the 13th son of their Rebbe in a large gathering marked by spiritual upliftment. The event took place in the main tish hall of the Hasidic court in Beitar Illit, with hundreds of Hasidim, community leaders, rabbis, and public figures attending to offer their blessings and congratulations.

The honored sandek (ceremony sponsor) was the Rebbe of Lviv, while blessings were given by the Gaavad of Zvhail and the dayan Rabbi Shteiglitz from Beitar. The newborn was named "Chai Yitzchak" in honor of the revered late Rebbe of Rachmastrivka from the United States, a great ancestor of the family.

Following the brit milah, attendees spent over an hour personally congratulating the Rebbe on this joyous occasion. The celebration was widely covered with photographs by Moshe Goldstein, capturing the vibrant communal spirit and religious significance of the event.
