Sadigerer Rebbe of Yerushalayim to Visit Boro Park

The Boro Park community is preparing these days to welcome the Rav Mordechai Sholom Yosef Friedman, shlit”a, the Sadigerer Rebbe of Yerushalayim, who will spend the days of his visit to the United States amongst this community.

This is his first visit to America since his acceptance of the leadership of the chassidim in Yerushalayim, since the passing of his father, Harav Yisroel Moshe Friedman, zt”l last summer. The Rebbe is named for the paternal great-grandfather who spent years in America, and reestablished the court of Sadigura in the postwar era. He was the right hand of his grandfather, Rebbe Avrohom Yaakov, and was instrumental in buying back properties in Ukraine that belonged to the court, as well as the resting places of the Admorim of Sadigura.

The Rebbe will stay with his uncle, Reb Yaakov Feldman, a noted ba’al tzeddakah and a son of the noted philanthropist, Reb Chaim Moshe Feldman of Stamford Hill, London.

A welcoming reception will be held this Tuesday evening to welcome the Rebbe to Boro Park.
