Historic: Boyaner Rebbe Invites American Chassidim to Eretz Yisroel for Shabbos Parshas Yisro

By Idy Perl

For the first time ever the Boyana Rebbe shlit"a penned a letter and invited his chassidim from America to come spend a Shabbos together in Eretz Yisroel. This is in light of the fact that the Rebbe is currently unable to travel to America to be with his chassidim here.

In the letter the Rebbe expressed how he longs to see his chassidim in America, as it’s where his grandfather, the Boyane Rebbe zt"l, lived and carried out his avodas hakodesh. The Rebbe shared that he deeply wishes to visit America but due to the difficulties that such a trip presents it is currently not possible.

The Rebbe therefore requested that his chassidim come to Eretz Yisrael to celebrate a Shabbos together, and at the same time to participate in a fundraising event to support the mosdos of Boyan, which are in desperate need of financial assistance.

It has now been confirmed that this trip, named "Vehivi'ani", will take place this upcoming Shabbos, Parshas Yisro. Hundreds of Chassidim from New York are expected to travel to Eretz Yisrael to spend Shabbos in a magnificent hotel in the north of Eretz Yisrael together with the Rebbe.
