JERUSALEM (VINnews) — For the first time in a year, many chasidic groups conducted a Tish (table gathering) honoring Purim. The tishes took place in Jerusalem Sunday, which was the main day of celebration in Jerusalem, while in other parts of Israel they took place Friday.

One of the main tishes with thousands of chasidim took place with the Gerer Rebbe, who has strictly ordered all of his chasidim who have not suffered from coronavirus to vaccinate. This was the first tish in a year for Gerer chasidim with their rebbe.

Another unusual Purim picture was seen at Kever Rachel on Friday, where Rabbi Kalman Greenwald, a Rachamstrivka chasid, read the megilla for a Border Police woman who is stationed at the site.
Best and most proud of the final picture. That is what Klal Yisroel is supposed to be about, giving to others who cannot give to themselves. Kol Ha Kovod HaRav Kalman Greenwald – more such as you are needed.
I join with the others, Kvelling about this picture!
It doesn’t matter that he probably believes (as i do) that women should not be in the military (according to most Torah authorities.)
The fact remains that it’s beautiful scenes like this that no-doubt hastens Moshiach’s arrival.
I hope this Rabbi and this soldier won’t mind that i’m saving this picture forever!
Kol-Ha’kovod to both of them.
Kol Ha’Kovod indeed!
Beautiful this is Yiddishkiet and it’s truth . Fully socially interactive . This is the way it should be . This is what keeps us going . May we never have to close our shuls again
The tish is going to be a super spreader , unless they were all given the full vaccination schedule
