“With the Young and the Old”: Satmar Rebbe to Celebrate Torah in Boro Park, this Sunday

In recent years—the period of post-Shavuos, before the exodus to the country—has become synonymous with the “Chumash Seuda,” at which the father and mothers, bubbes and zeides, come to observe the beautiful moments when their young, pure yingelech begin the journey of learning Torah.

Usually on Sunday, the shuls and yeshivos are a hive of activity as families join with the mechanchim and rabbonim to witness this beautiful moment. The events are filled with pageantry, with beautiful costumes and drapery, as befits the greatness of the day.

Sunday, the Satmar Rebbe will arrive in Boro Park from Kiryas Yoel to take part in dual celebrations—which are really part of one whole.

The Landau family is donating a sefer Torah to the large Satmar shul on 53^rd Street, which the Rebbe will participate in. Earlier in the day, he will attend the Chumash Seudah of the Satmar Cheder in Boro Park—where 200 children, ka”h, will receive their first chumash.

And so, the joy and the celebration of the holy Torah will be felt in Boro Park, by the young as well as the old.
