'Shuvu Banim' in nightly march: from Jerusalem to Beitar Illit

A huge march of the 'Shuvu Banim' - Breslev kehilla on Shabbos.

Many of the Chassidim of Hagr"a Berland, head of the Shuvu Banim kehilla of Breslev, marched on Shabbos night from Jerusalem towards the city of Beitar Ilit in order to participate in a special Shachris tefilla which was held this Shabbos.

Close to 1:00am, the participants left in two groups for a march from the Hachoma Hashlishit street in Meah Shearim, in which many of the members live, towards the city of Beitar, where Hagr"a lives.

The goal was to participate in Shachris of Parshas Bereishis, which the Rav is accustomed to daven with all his Chassidim. Because of the hardship to find sleeping accommodation in the city, the solution of a nightly march was chosen.

The city of Beitar is outside the Tchum Shabbos of Jerusalem, but a Posek permitted the walk on condition that an Eiruv will be done halachically.

For that purpose, food was placed along the road on Erev Shabbos. In addition, in order to make it easier for those marching, water bottles were placed at the Hussan barricade on the way.

Close to 4am the marchers reached Beitar Illit.

The Shachris itself in which Hagr"a took part, was held in the yard of Harav Nosson Shapiro's home, one of the Chassidim of Harav Berland who lives close by to the Rav's home.

Immediately after the tefilla, the Rav served as Sandak at the Bris of one of his Chassidim and gave a Shiur to the members of the kehilla.

Thereafter, the kehilla members partook of a Seudas Shabbos.
