The Belzer Rebbe made an unusual statement about the vacation habits of some of his chassidim and others. During the summer break, numerous chareidi families travel to Europe, while others choose to vacation in Israel.
For many years, the Belzer Rebbe has spent the summer in a vacation home in Telz-Stone, near Yerushalayim. This year, however, the Rebbe has decided to remain in Yerushalayim, staying in his residence and welcoming more visitors than he has in previous years.
When asked about his decision, he explained that it was inappropriate to go on vacation while soldiers are risking their lives.
“How can I travel for rest and vacation when we are fighting a battle on all fronts and soldiers are sacrificing their lives, they’re working hard for us and we’re going on vacation?” the Rebbe said.
Similarly, the Sanzer Rebbe also chose to forgo his usual vacation in Caesaria this year due to the ongoing conflict.
