Sadigerer Rebbe to Arrive in First Visit as Rebbe

This Wednesday, the Sadigerer Rebbe, Rebbe Yitzchok Yehoshua Heshil, son of the previous Rebbe, Rav Yisroel Moshe Friedman, zt”l, who was niftar an untimely age 18 months ago, will arrive in America on his first visit since assuming the helm of the chassidus.

Despite his relative youth, the Rebbe has taken the reins of the chassidus - centered in Bnei Brak - in a seamless transition, continuing to oversee the growth of the chassidus that flourished under his father, the previous Rebbe.    

This visit is highly anticipated, and is sure to draw many to the numerous events that the Rebbe will hold throughout the visit.

Wednesday morning, the Rebbe will daven Shachris in the Shtiebel of his Grandfather Rabbi Spiegel, the Ostrov-Kalushiner Rebbe in Cedarhurst, and will later arrive at the home of his host, Reb Yehoshua Eliezer Bruker.

The Apsha Shul on 50^th Street, led by Rav Beck, has been made available to the Rebbe and all the guests for learning and davening throughout the visit. Shachris at 9:00 daily.

The Rebbe will conduct tischen and davenings throughout Shabbos in the massive Eminence Hall of the Krasna Kehillah.

Sunday, a chanukas habayis for the new Sadigerer Shul in Lakewood. The Shul has been dedicated by Reb Yisochor Knol of Bnei Brak. Two sifrei Torah will be inaugurated simultaneously, one of them written by Reb Mordechai Sholom Yisroel Shapira of Lakewood, a grandson of the previous Rebbe’s father, the son of Rav Pinchas Shapira, Rov of the Sadigerer Shul in Tel Aviv.

Tuesday, the wedding of the Hachoson Yisroel Yosef Marilus, a son grandson of Rav Pinchos Shapira, and great-grandson of the Ikbei Abirim of Sadiger, will take place in Lakewood.

This will be followed by a Shabbos in Lakewood, which the Rebbe will spend in the newly inaugurated Sadigerer Shul.

The Rebbe will return to Eretz Yisroel the following Tuesday - after a farewell event at which the Rebbe will speak - concluding a two-week visit to America.
