[PHOTOS] Close to 75 members of the Bais Medrash Kol Aryeh departed Lakewood this morning to visit the Tzion of the Ribnitzer Rebbe Zatzal, on his fifteenth Yahrzeit. The Shul was among thousands who gathered at the Vizhnitzer Cemetery in Monsey, NY, to Daven at the Kever of the great Tzadik, who during his lifetime attracted thousands from around the globe seeking the Rebbe’s Brachos (blessings).
The Rav of the Shul, Reb Moishe Peretz Schwartz Shlita, rented a coach bus for the Mispallim who traveled together to the Kever, after which they traveled to Kiryas Yoel, to visit the Satmar Rebbe Reb Aharon Teitelbaum Shlita, as well as the Kever of the previous Satmar Rebbe Reb Yoel Teteilbaum Zatzal.
Later this evening, a special Yahrtzeit Seudah will be held in the Rebbe’s honor at the Atrium Hall in Monsey.
In the video below, from Gruntig, the Rimnitzer Rebbe Zt”l Hrh”k Reb Chaim Zanvl Abramowitz Zatzal, can be seen at a Wedding of Family Hershkowitz in 1974 in NY. It was one of the first Weddings at which the Rebbe was Mesader Kedushen after arriving in America, from Russia.

how heartwarming and touching.
Which Hershkowits family was that wedding in 1973??
How lucky and beautiful to see such a kehilla in lakewood like the KOL ARYEH kehilla ,growing and having all the ingrediants of what a real kehilla should be like ,right here in lakewood . The mora D’asrah Rav Moishe Peretz is a shining example for all kehillos to emulate with his toira chessed and middos qualities .The chessed that the Rav does behind the scene for so many individuals and moisdois has influenced all members of the kehilla to follow his example. B’H today Kol Aryeh is a model kehilla that all of lakewood is proud of and an inspiration to the klal .May the ribboini shel oilom give “koichois” to the Rav to continue going “mechoiyil el choiyil “
it was a trip he does annualy for the bochrim who come to kol aryeh for hakafos
I would like to write to the author of comment #4, that please verify information before you spread ot. I am a full time mispalel in kol aryeh and I am one of the people that joined this trip.
Firstly, I would like to thank our rov Harav Moshe Peretz Shwartz Shlita for taking us on this trip. May his and all our tefilos be niskabel.
Secondly, this is not an annual trip the last one we had was two years ago.
And finally, our Rov did this at his own expense not taking a penny or anything from anybody. This includes thaty this was NOT only for people who danced by hakafos. there were many people there that were not by hakafos. I myself asked the Rov Shlita if you need to come to hakafos to join the trip. Guess what my answer was ……. I got a big NO!!!! This trip was for mispalelei habeis medrash regardless if they were by hakafos.
So, next time author of comment #4, please verify information before you spread it.
Thank you
