Miraculously, Spinka Rebbe’s Room Untouched in Blaze

by YS Gold 

The fire that broke out overnight on Motzei Shabbos devastated the Shabbos Beis Medrash of the Dinover chassidim, who rent the weekday Spinka Shul on 56th street. 

But within the devastation, chassidim of the Spinka Rebbe, shlit”a, find a silver lining. 

The rebbes room, where he sees visitors and reads kvittlach is located in the room adjoining the one that suffered a fire. This room holds special significance for the chassidim, as it is the very same place that the Rebbe's father, the previous Spinka Rebbe, Rav Yaakov Yosef Weiss, zt"l, would receive chassidim and engage in his avodas hakodesh. Very little has changed in this room since the previous Rebbe's days, not even the furniture.  However, despite the heavy smoke and flames that affected the Dinover Shul, video shows that the rebbes room was miraculously untouched. 

The Spinka rebbe still awaits a refuah sheleimah as a result of an infection in recent months, and the public is asked to continue davening for Rav Naftuli Tzvi ben Perel.
