August 30, 2020   

Nearly 2,000 people participated in the first "Tish" of the Rebbe of Sadigura on Shabbat - a special Shabbat gathering that took place in the Hasidic courtyard at Shikun Ha-Ha in Bnei Brak, with Hasidic people coming from all corners of the country to rest in the shadow of the new Rebbe. How did he manage to get a prestigious degree without preparatory school or prerequisites? The secret is inside Following the 'tish', which was held in a tent set up in the community yard in violation of the Ministry of Health guidelines, with the crowd of thousands standing without masks and without maintaining distance - the police opened an investigation today (Sunday). It should be noted that a third meal was also held at the Satmar Hasidim's beit midrash in the Satmar neighborhood in Bnei Brak, with the participation of hundreds of community members, in violation of all Ministry of Health guidelines. The prayers in Sadigura were held in the large hall of the HaYamd on Gutmacher Street, and at the Shabbat reception, a special composition was played by the Hasidic choir, led by Rabbi Pinchas Bichler. At "Bovei Be'Shalom" the Rebbe came out of his room to the sound of the Hasidic cheers and played for several minutes the Sadigura melody that his father, the Rebbe, zt"l, had composed in special times of need. After the prayer, the audience moved on for a long hour to the blessing of "Got She's." Around 11:00 PM, crowds began to arrive at the huge tent that had been set up for the High Holy Days - for the first Shulchan, and at 11:20 AM the young Rebbe entered to perform the Kiddush, accompanied by his two brothers - Rabbi Ephraim Fishel and the young Shimon.

In the blessing of the meal, Rabbi Ephraim Fishel honored his brother and raised his glass to him. At 1:45, the Rebbe finished the tish, with the crowd accompanying him with a song to his home. Among others, Rabbi Nachum Cohen - the 'Baba Nachum', the rabbis of the Hasidic sect, the sons of the Rebbe of Bohus, the governors of the court, and more participated in the tish. A third meal lasted until 8:45 PM, with the audience singing sacred melodies. At the summing up, he honored his brother Shimon, and after the recitation of the Torah, they prayed Maariv in the tent - with the Rebbe going out to a special room built for him inside the tent, as was the custom of the Rebbe of Rozhin. His brother Shimon passed in front of the Ark in Maariv prayer. The raising of the Havdalah cup was honored by the Rebbe's relative, the Rebbe, the Grand Rabbi Yitzchak Knoll. As was the custom of his ancestors, before drinking the wine, the Rebbe looked at the wine and the candle while hiding his face. Then the audience broke into singing psalms for the end of Shabbat. A large-scale Kiddush of the white candle was held in the courtyard of the Holy Place, after which the audience moved on to say goodbye with the blessing of "Agute Vach.".
