Karlin-Stolin Chassidim Eagerly Await Rebbe’s Visit

By Idy Perl

Hundreds of Karlin-Stolin chassidim in New York are eagerly preparing to welcome the Rebbe of Karlin-Stolin shlit”a, who will be arriving in New York later this week for a visit.

The Rebbe’s trip is in honor of the even hapinah ceremony for the new Karlin-Stolin shul, which is scheduled to take place this upcoming Motzei Shabbos. 

The Rebbe will be departing from Eretz Yisroel on Wednesday night and will arrive in New York Thursday morning. Throughout the day the Rebbe will meet with his chassidim to accept kvitlach and give brachos, and will lead the davening in the Karlin-Stolin shul.  

On Shabbos the Rebbe will lead the tefillos and will host a massive tish Friday night. The tish will take place in The Palace ballroom to accommodate the large crowds that are expected. The Rebbe will then attend the even hapinah ceremony on Motzei Shabbos, which will take place on 16th Avenue at the corner of 47th Street, where construction is already underway for the new shul.
