"To see everyone dancing and happy at an event like this, it was a very moving moment, everyone was in tears," said one participant in a conversation with B'Chadrei Charedim.

To B'Chadrei Charedim it become known that a month after the tragedy, the woman came along with her infant son to the home of Hgr"a Yosef, to receive his blessing.

Hgr"a, who knew the details of the tragedy, blessed the woman and the baby she carried in her arms.

According to testimony from Hagr"a's family, after she left the room, Hgr"a removed his glasses wept and prayed: "Hashem have pity on the mother and her baby."

One family member said yesterday: "There is no doubt that this Simcha is only because of the blessings of Hgr"a."
The wedding will take place within the next few weeks.
