Vizhnitzer Rebbe of Yerushalayim to Visit London For Shabbos

By Y.M. Lowy

The Vizhnitzer Rebbe of Yerushalayim, who resides in Boro Park, is preparing to travel to London to visit the Vizhnitzer Rebbe of London, his brother, who has been unwell in recent weeks, and to join in the kiddush for a new great-grandchild shared by both brothers.

On Monday, a baby girl was born to R’ Yisroel Avrohom Stein, son of R’ Elazar Stein, who is a son-in-law of the Rebbe of Yerushalayim. R’ Yisroel Avrohom is also a son-in-law of R’ Menachem Shlomo Hager, the eldest son of the Rebbe of London. The newborn is a great-granddaughter of both Rebbes.

He is expected to leave on Wednesday and stay in London through Sunday, spending Shabbos in the main Vizhnitz beis medrash. During his visit, he will also consult with local doctors to ensure a refuah sheleima for his brother.
