Series of events have been canceled; Elders of Boro Park "don't remember such snow"

Snowstorm on the East Coast in the United States – residents of Haredi neighborhoods in Brooklyn woke up on Shabbos morning to high piles of snows, and a storm that even elders of the neighborhood of Boro Park, Brooklyn, cannot remember.

The snow piled high blocking the doorways. The residents say that on Friday night Hassidim still went to tishim, as well as the Shabbos sheva brochos for the granddaughter of the Satmar Rebbe was held as usual in the Beis Midrash of Williamsburg - but the sheva brochos for the Rebbe's granddaughter which was scheduled for Saturday night at the large Beis Midrash, has been canceled due to the blizzard.

Behadrey Haredim also learned that the Babov Hasidim canceled a gathering for the community's women under the presidency of the Rebbe's wife, because of the weather. But despite everything, most Hasidim came to participate at shalosh seudos as on every Shabbos.

In addition to the above, dinner events were canceled as well as a Melave Malka in favor of the Beled Beis Midrash in Boro Park, and at the De'esh Beis Midrash in Williamsburg.

Talmud Torah children remain this morning (Sunday) at home due to increased snow. The abolition of classes will make it easier for parents, due to the fact that Sunday is a free day in any case. Hasidim hope that tonight the tishim at Rebbes on occasion of Tu Bishvat, could take place as usual, although the chances of this are slim.

In Boro Park they say that "the greatest miracle in the Haredi neighborhoods is that snow arrived at the height of Shabbos, and so Jews who do not use cars were not hurt, nor were they injured in accidents and disasters".
