Storm in the Vizhnitz yard: Is someone trying to create a public dispute between the two Vizhnitz courtyards in Bnei Brak again? According to the Vizhnitz Hasidim, young men belonging to the Vizhnitz Center recently harassed the Rebbe of Vizhnitz on two occasions, when he arrived to participate in family celebrations in the halls of the 'Hichlei Hapar' in Bnei Brak. Last night - Shabbat night - another harassment occurred when "with great impudence and boldness," as the Vizhnitz Hasidim defined it, young men and children from the rival Hasidim courtyard shouted "booz" at the Rebbe and locked the parking lot gate. Although from the perspective of the Vizhnitz Hasidim, the disgrace "went beyond the pale," as they defined it, the Rebbe, who noticed what was being done and by whom it was done, immediately ordered his Hasidim not to answer for anything to the Hasidim's followers from the Vizhnitz Hasidim Center. "Our answer to the harassment all these years was simply to add love for Israel," said the Rebbe.
