Hundreds Celebrate the Marriage of Grandchildren of Mishkoltz and Kozmir Rebbes

The story · English

Hundreds of Hasidim celebrated the wedding of a grandson of the Mishkoltz Rebbe and a granddaughter of the Kozmir Rebbe. The groom is the son of Rabbi Yechiel Sonnenband, grandson of the gaon and tzaddik Rabbi Dov, while the bride is the daughter of Rabbi Eliezer Zusia Greenwald. The wedding was marked by songs and rejoicing in the courts of the two dynasties.

The article also reported on another Hasidic wedding in which a large crowd joined the marriage of a grandson of the Ziditshov Beer Sheva and Tmeshvar Rebbes to a granddaughter of the Zvehil Rebbe. During the receiving line, the rebbes played with an old silver goblet that bears sacred inscriptions, a detail that drew special attention and was documented by A. Shtol.

In Bnei Brak, the Bobov 45 court held a solemn event for the conclusion of Tractate Gittin and the start of Tractate Kiddushin within the "Heim Chayeinu" study group. The gathering was dedicated to the memory of the elderly group participant Rabbi Moshe Meir Einhorn, of blessed memory. The Rebbe presented an expensive gift to a prominent benefactor, and the event included speeches and a large photo spread.

The roundup also noted a serious appeal for prayer for the Horodenka Rebbe, described as a leading figure of charity and kindness, who has been hospitalized for weeks and recently suffered a collapse in his condition. The Hasidic community is asking the public to pray for Rabbi Yitzchak Aryeh ben Chana. Other items in the roundup included a Hasidic story for Saturday night, a report on a major foundation event in Jerusalem, and several other weddings, commemorations, and religious gatherings across Israel and the United States.
