An emotional wedding took place in Brooklyn as Chaim Tzvi Meisels, a great-grandson of the Beirach Moshe of Satmar, got married.
About seven years ago, Chaim Tzvi chose to immigrate to Israel and enlist in the IDF. Chaim Tzvi left everything behind and came to the new country, where he enlisted in the IDF combat unit and was sworn in at the Kosel.
Chaim Tzvi served as a commanding officer in the Nachal Chareidi program. Despite everything, he did not sever ties with his family and his father, Rav Mordechai Aharon Meisels, a rebbi at the Satmar Yeshiva in Kiryas Yoel. Rav Mordechai Aharon is a son of Rav Dov Berish Meisels, a son-in-law of the Beirach Moshe.
In the past, Chaim Tzvi wrote about his experience enlisting in the army: “A few months before ‘Operation Protective Edge,’ almost a year after I left the community in which I grew up, I decided that I wanted to enlist….I bought a plane ticket and came alone to the country. At first, a friend connected me to the ‘Soldier to Soldier’ organization… In August 2014…after three months of basic training, I was accepted into the Egoz unit. I didn’t tell anyone my story. I was afraid that they would think I wasn’t suitable.”
“At the beginning of the course, I fell behind the team and couldn’t be one of the leaders. Therefore, after a year in the course, when I wanted to go to the officer’s course, I wasn’t allowed. After consulting with Rav Menachem Mendel HaKohen Friedman, the Admor of Pashkan, I chose to leave the unit and join a battalion.”
About a year ago, after completing his military service, Chaim Tzvi returned to the US and began to gradually return to his Chassidic community, until his engagement b’shaah tovah.
As mentioned, this week, he got married at the Ateres Matel Leah Hall in Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn. The kallah is a daughter of Rav Aharon Yaakov Greenwald from Skver.
