Lelover bachurim from all over the country arrived in Beit Shemesh to spend the first Shabbos with the new Rebbe shlita.
A new Beis Medrash, which is in the midst of being built, will host the many Chassidim who will now come to spend Shabbos and Yom Tov with their new Rebbe, who took over the leadership of the chassidus a few weeks ago.
On Thursday, the Rebbe arrived at his new house which is right next to the Beis Medrash and set out to visit several rabbanim in the city.
The Rebbe first visited Rabbi Nassan Kopshitz shlita, who received the Rebbe with great warmth and hospitality. The two discussed divrei Torah for a long time, after which the Rebbe went to visit Rabbi Moshe Tovia Dinkel shlita, who said that the Lelover community in the city is one of the most glorious kehillos.
On Thursday night after maariv, the Rebbe held a l'chaim tisch and received his Chassidim one by one. As Friday neared and many guests began arriving from outside Beit Shemesh, a special committee which had been appointed in advance directed all guests to their respective hosts.
On Shabbos night, hundreds of Chassidim attended the tisch and on motzaei Shabbos a grand melaveh malkah was held for the bachurim together with the Rebbe. The Rebbe shlita related several stories of Torah giants of yesteryear, especially of Rebbe Tzvi Hirsch of Rimanov zy"a, whose yahrtzeit fell last week.
At 21:00 sharp, the Rebbe instructed all bachurim to go back to their yeshivas and not to delay their departure.
The special Shabbos will long be remembered by the Chassidim in Lelov.
