Feverish Preparations for Yohrtzeit of the Toras Mordechai of Viznitz, zt”l

BY: Yitzy Fried
Wednesday, 29 Adar, is the yohrtzeit of the Toras Mordechai of Viznitz, and chassidim
around the world are preparing for this exalted day, preparing to mark the yohrtzeit
with spiritual, as well as logistical preparations.
While Wednesday is sure to be the busiest day at the ohel in
Monsey, the days before are already drawing crowds who are pouring out their
hearts at the holy tziyun.
Since it will be too difficult to accommodate the women with
such massive crowds on Wednesday, the afternoon hours on Tuesday from
12:30-5:00 have been designated exclusively for the nashim tzidkaniyos
to bring their own unique tears and tefillos on behalf of them, their
families, and all of Klal Yisroel. From 5:00 on Tuesday, throughout the
day of the yohrtzeit, crowds of men are anticipated from all over New York and
New Jersey.
Buses will begin shuttling chassidim from the large Beis
Medrash to the beis hachaim every fifteen minutes, beginning at 8:00 on
Wednesday. Events and gatherings in memory of the Rebbe will take place Tuesday
evening and Wednesday, followed by the Rebbe’s davening at the tziyun at 11:15
Wednesday morning, with a large tisch conducted in unison by the brothers, the
Viznizter Rebbes of America, commemorating their illustrious father, and
invoking his holy memory for yeshuos for all of Klal Yisroel.
