For the first time since assuming the mantle of leadership of the Viznitzer chassidus more than eight years ago, the Vizhnitzer Rebbe of Monsey, shlit"a, will make an extended visit to Lakewood, the renowned city of Torah and Chassidus, where he will spend an entire Shabbos together with many chassidim and admirers from near and far. 

The Rebbe will travel to Lakewood to raise significant funds from the city's generous benefactors on behalf of his flourishing institutions in Vizhnitz-Monsey, while at the same time inspiring the city's residents, and the followers and admirers of the Vizhnitz court in particular. In years past, his illustrious father, the holy Rebbe and author of Toras Mordechai of Vizhnitz, zt"l, would frequently spend Shabbosim in the city among his chassidim and admirers. 

The Rebbe is scheduled to arrive in Lakewood on Thursday, Parshas Beha'aloscha, and will be hosted in the home of the distinguished philanthropist Reb Yosef Atlas, a long-time host of the Vizhnitzer Rebbes during their visits to the city. The entire Shabbos will be conducted in the large hall of Bais Faiga in the heart of Lakewood, where large crowds are expected to participate in the uplifting tefillos and tishen throughout Shabbos. 

Following Shabbos, the Rebbe will remain in the city for several additional days, visiting the homes of prominent supporters and participating in a series of events on behalf of the Vizhnitz institutions in Monsey.

The visit is expected to rekindle longstanding ties between the Vizhnitz court and the Lakewood community, while providing local chassidim and admirers with a rare opportunity to spend an entire Shabbos in the Rebbe's presence. Organizers anticipate a meaningful and uplifting few days which will leave a lasting impression on all those who participate.
