The major event was graced by the presence of Gedolei Yisroel, members of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah, Roshei Yeshiva, rabbanim, and marbitzei Torah who deliver Torah to the masses. The central keynote address was delivered by the Rosh Yeshiva, HaGaon Rabbi Moshe Hillel Hirsch. PHOTOS FOR YWN VIA SHUKI LERER

Last week, the wedding of the grandson of the Toldos Avrohom Yitzchok took place at the Machnovka-Belz Beis Medrash in Bnei Brak. For many years, the Toldos Avrohom Yitzchok Rebbe has longed for the opportunity to receive an aliyah from the ancient Sefer Torah of the holy Baal Shem Tov, which is preserved in the archives of the Machnovka-Belz court. On the night of the wedding, the Rebbe remained in Bnei Brak, lodging at the home of HaGaon HaRav Yaakov Yehoshua Englander, Rosh Yeshiva of Machnovka-Belz, on Ohr HaChaim Street. The following morning, the Rebbe arrived at the Machnovka-Belz Beis Medrash, where he emotionally embraced the historic Sefer Torah and was called up for an aliyah, fulfilling his long-held aspiration with great excitement.

A joyous chasunah took place last night (Wednesday) in the main Beis Medrash of Machnovka-Belz in Bnei Brak, celebrating the marriage of the grandson of the Toldos Avrohom Yitzchok Rebbe. The chassan is the son of the Spinka-Monsey Rebbe, who is a son-in-law of the Toldos Avrohom Yitzchok Rebbe, and the kallah is the granddaughter of the Ziditshov Rebbe of Bnei Brak. A distinguished group of Admorim participated in the simcha, which reached an emotional climax during the mitzvah tantz, as the Rebbe danced with fiery passion before the kallah.
