Monday, First Day of Chanukah
Tov V’chesed’s Buneinu program took hundreds of Jerusalem boys to visit the Rebbe of Vizhnitz-Yerushalayim. The Rebbe, who assumed the mantle of leadership in recent years, is renowned for his personable nature and the warmth he shows to all visitors.
The Rebbe spoke to the boys about his experience as a leading liaison for cholei Yisroel in NYC hospitals. He shared how he has stood by the side of children as their parents leave this world and how this has helped him learn to understand their predicament and provide chizuk for these broken young boys. The boys heard moving divrei chizzuk from the Rebbe, and then passed by the Rebbe one by one to receive coins and a personal, warm bracha.
