Gerer Rebbe to Wrap up US Trip With Private Shabbos in Pomona

By Y. S. Gold

Since the outbreak of the Israel-Iran war, the Gerer Rebbe, shlit"a, who arrived in the United States nearly two weeks ago on a mission to support the Olam Hatorah of Ger, has been stranded in America as the skies were shut down. 

In the ensuing week, the Rebbe has visited with American Admorim, and many Rabbonim, Admorim, and community leaders have made their way to the Rebbe's door to recieve brachos and advice. 

Now, the news comes that the Rebbe will returning to Israel via Cyprus shortly after Shabbos which the Rebbe will spend in Pomona in a private setting, away from the limelight. Security personell could be seen outside the air-conditioned tent erected outside the home of the Rebbe's devoted chossid R' Meir Frei, ensuring the Rebbe's privacy. 

The Rebbe is scheduled to return to Eretz Yisroel via Cyprus along with the entourage of his children and close chassidim who have spent the last two weeks on this important mission to the United States.
