Thousands participated in the funeral procession of the Rebbe of Zvihel Sanz, zt"l, who passed away on Friday in the United States, which began at his beit midrash - the Zvihel Seminary in Ramat Shlomo, where his uncle, the Rebbe (Rajm) of Zvihel, eulogized. From there, the funeral procession continued to the large beit midrash of the Sanz Hasidim in Kiryat Sanz, Jerusalem, where the Rebbe of Sanz, mournfully eulogized his brother-in-law for a long hour, at the end of which he blessed his brother-in-law, Rabbi Shaul Yehuda Presant - who was elected by the congregation in Union City to serve as the community's rabbi. After him, his brothers-in-law, the wise sages, eulogized Hatani El Hasfa Chaim zt"l: Rabbi Dov Weiss - Rosh Yeshiva Torat Chaim. Rabbi Ephraim Fishel, Rabbi of Kiryat Ba'al Shem Tov, and Rabbi Eliezer David Shapira, Rabbi of the Sanz Hasidic Jews in Bnei Brak. After the eulogies, the coffin set out on a funeral procession through the streets of Jerusalem, to the Zwi'el Ha-Hamad in the Beit Israel neighborhood - where the eulogies were delivered by the Rebbe (R.S.) of Zwi'el and his brother Rabbi David Goldman, Rabbi of the Zwi'el Hasidic Jews in the B'nai region, and his nephew Rabbi Eliezer Goldman, who was appointed Rebbe of Zwi'el in the USA. From there, the coffin set out for the Zwi'el plot on the Mount of Olives, where he was buried next to his great-grandfather, Rabbi Shlomka Zwi'elher zt"l. [Gallery] .
