JERUSALEM (VINnews) — The Sadigura chasidim will hold a huge wedding celebration tonight in Bnei Brak attended by all of the chasidim but without the bride and groom.

The reason for the unusual reception is that the Rebbe in Israel is not able to attend the actual ceremony in the United States.

On Monday night, the wedding of the previous Rebbe’s youngest son will take place in the US but the current Rebbe (a younger son of the previous Rebbe) will be unable to attend his youngest brother’s wedding in person.

The chasidim in Bnei Brak, where the Rebbe maintains his father’s institutions, decided to make a celebration in honor of the wedding but without the bride and groom present at the fictitious ceremony.

I have zero to do with Sadigur! Ziltch. Having said that, I think this article is a good piece of loshen hora. I guess VIN is willing to post anything to bring traffic to the site.

The correct term is “Remote wedding” celebration, not “fictitious”, because a wedding is actually occurring at a different, remote location at that exact time. If no one were getting married, then it would be a fictitious wedding.

They are not making a fictitious wedding. They are celebrating locally.

No idea why this is being called fictitious.

Sadigur is very far from the first ones to do this. Among Lomdey Torah such celebrations are referred to as “Rav Akiva Eiger Suedas” because there are very famous Teshuvos written by Rav Akiva Eiger regarding a Torah conversation that his relatives who could not be present at his wedding had at the celebration they had that night instead.

It is a chasidic custom, when Lubavitcher Rabbi parents could not attend his wedding, they made a wedding on the same night without bride and groom

VIN news joins Jewish sensational journalism which has previously been brought to you by a three-letter acronym claiming to have something to do with a Yeshiva and another one which is related to a weekly newspaper.

What was the point of this story? BH I know nothing about anything, if there is a disagreement someplace or not however the way I see the story, he was not able to attend and being that this is a Rebbisheh Family Chasuna, One where all the chasidim are part of, they are going through the motions 6,000 mi away. I think it’s very nice and very admirable.

I don’t know what the real story is, I don’t think even the YENTAS who commented over here know what the story is either, personally I really don’t care what the story is either!

It’s so sad! Not only did the father write the צואה he gave it over the Bes Din. Many other older Rebbes also told him that he’s obliged to fulfill his father’s wishes. How could the mother do this? נשים רחמניות בשלו ילדיהן. She needs help. Nebech

Sadly, not the first dispute of a similar nature. These are becoming commonplace. In years past one of the sons would move to another shtetl and begin his own chaasidus.

<em>is not able to attend the actual ceremony in the United States.</em> Is this because the USA State Department also canceled his visa along with the visa of the venerated צפת Chief Rabbi?

everything in this article is true, besides the “unable to attend”

unwilling to attend, not invited to attend, estranged from the rest of the family therefore avoiding the wedding, all of these would be true, just not “unable” he is fully able

I (according to Educated Archy) invented gay people, and even I think it’s strange for adults to have a mock wedding.

Nebach so sad. This young current reba is in a tough spot. But why not step aside and just let it go? Mom comes first.He will only gain later in life as the one that runs away from machlokos
