Bochrim from the Gerer Yeshiva Visit The Ohel

A group of 70 Bochrim from the Gerer Yeshiva came to the Ohel to daven and farbreng with the Rebbe’s Mazkir Rabbi Leibel Groner.

Rabbi Groner spoke for two hours about the Rebbe’s Sichos on Peisach-Sheiney, and the special connection between the Rebbes of Chabad and Ger.

The Rosh Yeshiva requested of Rabbi Groner that the Bochurim could ask questions in writing.

Two of the Talmidim introduced themselves as being the grandson and great grandson of the Rosh Yeshiva of 770, Harav Hagoen Reb Yisroel Piekarsky OBM.

    Nuuuu…. and???
    Webby, I am sorry to tell you but you started this article like a juicy story and left me in a blank right in the middle. If you can please append this story and tell us more of what happened. These two bochurim how did they end up in Gur?

  • Familiar

    Rabbi Pikarsky had a number of children, only one is in Lubavitch. The other chidren are in Ger. Rabbi Pikarsky although a CHOSIS of the Rebbe to full maening of the word, was a Talmid Muvhok of the Avnei Neizer.

    Thank you CrownHeights.info fo for this news item.

  • Was there

    The article covers the story quite well. The Bochrim came to the Ohel for Peisach-Sheiney. The Rosh Yeshivah called Rabbi Groner to farbreng with this group.

    He spoke about Peisach-Sheiney adding the flavor of the Rebbes Sichos.

    There was a request for questions, but being bashful, they asked to write their requests.

    Rabbi Groner took “10 shielos”. The topics of discussion were, the relationship between the Rebbe and the Admurei Ger and the Rebbes holy daily avoide.

    Rabbi Groner spoke eloquently and prefaced his comments by saying, that there are things in the category of “ SOYDES FUN CHIEDER”.

    Moishe – what do you mean "how did they end up"?

    Piekarsky was not a Lubavitcher Chosid.
