The joy of the Sanz family: Tonight, a bar mitzvah celebration will be held for the grandson of the Rebbe of Sanz, the beloved son of Rabbi Avraham Halberstam, son-in-law of the Rebbe of Stropkov.
The Bar Mitzvah celebration will be held in the large Rosenberg Hall in Kiryat Sanz, Netanya.
The Sanz Hasidim are particularly excited for the event, after the Rebbe had not been seen in public for more than two weeks, but instead held prayers and 'tish' at his home. This was due to weakness and infection, and for several days he was even hospitalized at the 'Laniado' Medical Center.
This morning, the Rebbe appeared, to the joy of the Hasidim, at the Heichal Mativit in Kiryat Sanz for the ceremony of placing tefillin on his grandson.
