This Shabbos, Rosh Chodesh Av: 21st Yohrtzeit of Bobover Rebbe, zt”l
Rosh Chodesh Av marks the yohrtzeit
of Rebbe Shloime of Bobov, zt”l, a unique leader in the postwar era, and the
most prominent Chassidic leader in the Boro Park community.
He lost everything in the war; a
Rebbetzin and children, and thousands of chassidim young and old. The
glorious infrastructure of Yiddishkeit all around Poland and Galicia had
been so brutally sent up in smoke.
And it was precisely with joy that
he rebuilt from the embers—and with overflowing love.
Countless stories and anecdotes
abound about the way he drew in the shattered souls of the Churban during those
terrible days of confusion and pain. Eighty years later, their
great-grandchildren are part of an ever expanding Bobover Chassidus.
Bobover chassidim, many of whom are
ordinarily upstate, will be spending Shabbos in Boro Park, basking in the glow
of the Rebbe and the chassidim who uphold the golden legacy of the tzaddik who
dedicated his life for their sake.
