Description

Thousands Gather in Lizhensk for the Yahrtzeit of the Rebbe Reb Elimelech WATCH FULL VIDEO: https://youtu.be/87vcL9XpJ3U Even as the world remains tense and the war continues, thousands of chassidim traveled to the town of Lizhensk in Poland for the annual hilula of the Rebbe Reb Elimelech of Lizhensk on the 21st of Adar. As in centuries past, the day drew large crowds who came to daven, cry, and pour out their hearts at the tziyun of the tzaddik. The event was organized by the dedicated volunteers of Hachnasas Orchim Lizhensk, who once again ensured that the thousands of visitors were warmly welcomed and cared for in a dignified and generous manner. Despite the challenges posed by the ongoing war, the organizers traveled from Eretz Yisroel, reaching Poland through Sharm el-Sheikh in order to prepare for the massive influx of visitors. Large tents were erected throughout the area to accommodate the many participants who arrived from around the world. Inside the tents, guests were served meals and refreshments, while additional stations provided cakes and hot beverages. Throughout the day and night, makeshift shtieblach remained filled with people engaged in constant tefillah.
