On Thursday, we went to visit Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, who is one of the greatest Torah leaders of our generation. We lifted each of the boys and carried them up a flight of stairs to the Rabbi’s apartment. Everything is possible with Chai lifeline. There, they received blessings and words of strength from the Rabbi. The Rebbetzin came down to meet with the moms and the girls. She was so incredibly warm and sweet, and gave each woman a blessing and a kiss.
We then went to visit Rabbi Aron Leib Shteinman. The Rabbi is formerly the Rosh Kollel (“head”) of the Ponevezh Kollel, he is a backer of the Kupat Ha’ir charitable organization, and has written many scholarly works on the Talmud. He blessed all of the participants as well.
From Bnai Brak, We traveled to Mini Israel, which is a model representation of all of Israel’s famous buildings and landmarks. Those in the group from New York and Chicago could only chuckle as they saw two trucks of snow being delivered to the Hermon section of the site!
