NEW YORK (VINnews) — The historic wedding of the Gerrer Rebbe’s granddaughter took place Tuesday evening in Monsey, N.Y. at the Vizhnitz Beis Midrash. Thousands of chasidim attended the wedding and huge screens were set up via satellite in the Ger center in Jerusalem so that thousands of Israeli chasidim could participate in the rejoicing.

The Kallah is the daughter of Rabbi Yisrael Menachem Alter, the son of the rebbe and the chasan is the son of Rabbi Yitzchak Zelig Epstein. This is the first time a Gerrer wedding is taking place in the US.

It is time to admit that we: follow rebbeim and “Gedoilim” when it suits us. We follow a doctor’s recommendation when it suits us. We quote a gemorah when it suits us. We obey a psak when it suits us. We pontificate on our frumkeit, but make nasty comments and denigrate others when it suits us. We are all phonies. Time for Tshuvah.

As a frum physician who has had colleagues die from covid, as the delta variant is surging, I urge everyone: Avoid large crowds, especially indoors. These are definitely potential SUPERSPREADERS. The Gemoro, Rishonim, and Acharonim give clearcut advice regarding how to protect oneself from a plague. [For example, the Gemoro recommend staying 4 amos, about 6 feet, from someone contagious, poskim recommended wearing masks, limiting the number of people in shul, etc]. It’s not worth getting long-term lung, heart or brain damage, nor risking death.

Although asked earlier by someone else but never answered, I’ll ask again. Why was the wedding in Monsey, and the elderly Rebbe Have to schlep all the way in? Where were the chosson and kallah from?

BH No governor antichos breathing down our backs. We successfully were zocheh to have a huge socially interactive with no interference from the evil man! Mazal tov to all gera chasdim. Nar Simchas !

This is essential for klal yisroel. Yidden need large rebesha chasnas as the michas eluzar did years ago. its what keeps the fire of chasdius going. yes social interaction is essential for us.

No masks. No social distancing.
Why did the authorities not stop this from beginning?
I only hope that nobody gets sick or dies from this event. 🙁

So much for Tsniyus, women right next to the Rebbe.
