Petira Of The Vizhnitzer Rebbe Of Bnei Brak

PHOTOS: We regret to inform you of the Petira of the Vizhnitzer Rebbe, HaRav Moshe Yehoshua Hager Zatzal, who was Niftar a short time ago at the age of 96. The family and close Chassidim were gathered around the Rebbes bedside as they recited Viduy and Krias Shema, and shortly after finishing, the Rebbe returned his Neshama to the Ribono Shel Olam.

The Rebbe was born in Romenia in 1916 to his father, the previous Rebbe, the holy Imrei Chaim. He is survived by his brother, the Vizhnitzer Rebbe of Monsey, and his sons Rav Yisroel, Rav Mendel, and daughters who are married to Rav Menachem Ernster (Rosh Yeshiva of the Vizhnitzer Yeshiva in Bnei Brak), the Satmar Rebbe from Kiryas Yoel, the Belzer Rebbe, and the Rebbitzen of the Skver Rebbe (New Square).

Rav Yisroel Hager has been leading the Bnei Brak Chassidus since the Rebbe became unwell in recent years, while his son Rav Mendel Hager was appointed at the Av Beis Din of the Chassidus. YWN/TLS. Photo credits: News Breakers.

  1. The Levaya will iy”h be 1:00pm from Beis Midrush Hagudel in Bnei Brak.
    Reports are that the Funeral of Visnitz Rebbe zt”l is expected to be the biggest crowd ever at a funeral in Israel.
    There will be no Hespeidim at Levaya – Kenuhig, and the Mitah will iy”h wait at the Beis Hachaim for the Admorim who are coming from NY and all over the world

  2. Chaim –

    Whose “reports” are you hearing this from? Nobody really knows how many people will come to the levaya.

    “Reports” said that Rav Shach’s levaya had between 500,000 and 600,000 people. If so, you must have “reports” that more than 600,000 people are coming. How exactly do these “reports” get their info?

  3. Guys who cares the size of the levaye , it’s a tremendous lost for us klal Yisroel , I personally knew the rebbe very well and he was a chavruse and great friend with my grand father a”h they both came back from Europe after the war , u had to see the tears of the rebbe and my g father a”h when they saw each other u could of feel the pain they both went thru in the war , now they are learning back together in the yeshive shel maloh . Zechus yugen oleini

  4. I think it’s terrible to have these pictures up. I feel like throwing up it’s so wrong. I have sent an email via ‘contact us’. Hope it helps.
