Hassidim cried in sheva brochos in Meron - and contributed $ 40,000 to Wiesel family

During the Simcha of Shabbos Sheva Brochos of Dez'icov - Vizhnitz in Meron on occasion of the wedding of the son of the Rebbe of Dez'icov - Vizhnitz the daughter of the Mashpia Rabbi Meilech Biderman, thousands of dollars were raised for the benefit of the Wiesel Family fund. The avrech Rabbi Yosef Wiesel z"l, who was killed in a car accident on Thursday, is one of the Chassidim of the kloiz.

On Friday night the Rebbe held a Tisch with his Chassidim, while his in-law – R' Meilech Biderman, also held a 'Tisch' with hundreds of his admirers, until the early morning hours.

During shalosh seudos which the Dez'icov - Vizhnitz Rebbe held with his followers, the Rebbe addressed the tragedy, and called his Chassidim to donate money to help the family. "We are closer to the event, more than anyone," said the Rebbe to the pained Chassidim, "and must raise twofold more than anyone else."

At the end of the Shabbos, the Chassidim were deployed at the entrance to the Rashbi's tomb and collected signatures of standing orders for the family.

The mechutan, R' Meilech Biderman recruited during Shabbos more than 40 thousand dollars to help the family. There were a few wealthy gvirim and two askanim staying with R' Meilech who joined forces for the harsh case.

The Vizhnitz Rebbe also referred to the tragedy during shalosh seudos and said: "I should hope that every person who is called Viznitzer Chossid will take part in this urgent appeal. The deceased z"l was a G-d fearing and faithful Jew. He served his Maker all the years out of trials and stress, but never gave up. We must stand firm next to the widow and orphaned children at least to the amount specified, and the more, the better. "

During the funeral on Thursday, the Mashba"k of Vizhnitz R' Hershel Katz, announced that anyone who will contribute $ 500 for the family will be mentioned by the Rebbe on Rosh Hashanah and he will pray for him.
