During a swift visit to Eretz Yisroel, the Rebbe of Vizhnitz Yerushalayim, who currently resides in the United States, made a special stop at the home of the Belzer Rebbe.
Upon his arrival, the Belzer Rebbe warmly welcomed his guest and inquired about the purpose of his brief trip to Eretz Yisroel. The Vizhnitz-Yerushalayim Rebbe responded with deep emotion, explaining that he had traveled especially in honor of the upcoming yahrtzeit of his grandfather, the Imrei Chaim of Vizhnitz zt”l, which will be marked this coming Monday.
“I came,” the Rebbe said, “to seek a yeshuah at the kever of the Imrei Chaim.”
The two Rebbes shared an animated and warm conversation, exchanging memories and customs related to Pesach as observed in both Belz and Vizhnitz, with particular focus on the practices of the Imrei Chaim, who was known to speak about the Seder night and Pesach throughout the entire year.
After being served a cup of tea, the Belzer Rebbe extended his heartfelt brachos for a joyous and uplifting Pesach and offered special brachos to the grandchildren of the Vizhnitzer Rebbe who had accompanied him on this trip.
Over Shabbos, the Vizhnitz-Yerushalayim Rebbe spent time with bochurim of his chassidus in the moshav of Beit Chilkiya, where they held a spirited Shabbos hisachdus in preparation for the approaching Yom Tov of Pesach.
