Airlift of Shuvu Banim to Morocco

Shuvu Banim chassidim would in the past spend Shavuos in the community courtyard in Israel, or at most fly to Uman to stay at the tomb of Rabbi Nachman.

This year, due to the escape of the community leader Hgr"e Berland to Morocco, an airlift to the country was organized and at least 200 of his followers will stay with him during Shavuos.

Rabbi Berland who is requested in Israel for interrogation, will spend Yom Tov at the grave of Rabbi Amram Ben Diwan in the city of Zane in Morocco.

A sources at the chassidus said that ticket prices soared in recent days: "The cost of a ticket was estimated at -1200 dollars," he said, adding: "There is a great demand to fly to Morocco to stay with the Rabbi over Yom Tov. However it is clear to everyone that not everyone can go, otherwise things get out of control."

B'Chadrei Charedim learned that on erev Yom Tov there will be a Hachnasas Sefer Torah to the synagogue located near the tomb.

Sefer Torah was donated by a local wealthy Jew who became an admirer of Hgr"e Berland.

In the town is located a building with dozens of beds used during the year by the Jews who visit the graves of the tzaddikim in the area. There is also a synagogue, mikveh, a kitchen and a large dining room.

Speaking of food: a Breslev shochet from Israel will take off for Morocco, to slaughter chickens and sheep for the community.

It is estimated that some followers will return to Israel immediately after Shavuos to avoid tensions with the authorities, who do not welcome prolonged presence of Israeli's in the country.
