News from Gur (Ger)

B"H

In the week after Shavuot, Chassidut Gur (Ger) is going to celebrate a huge wedding (Chaseneh). The grandson of Rebbe Yaakov Aryeh Alter is getting married.


The present Rebbe of Chassidut Gur, Rabbi Yaakov Aryeh Alter.

Chassidut Gur has the tradtion to marry off the Rebbe's children and grandchildren within their Chassidut. Not like, for instance, Chassidut Toldot Aharon, where the Rebbe's close relatives are getting Shidduchim from other chassidic groups.

Furthermore, the Gerer Chassidim don't have the custom the travel to Meron on Lag Ba'Omer. Instead they had big celebrations and a Se'udah (festive meal) in Bnei Brak.

I want to find out more details about the upcoming wedding and if I find the time, I might even go.
