It's not a joke • Purim Rov became Dayan and More Tzedek

With the sudden death of the Dayan Rabbi Chaim Yechiel Roitman zt"l, member of the Belz Beis Din Machzieke Hadas and Rav Beis Midrash of Hasidism on Ben Yaakov Street in Bnei Brak, his son-in-law Rabbi Yehoshua Fink was appointed as Dayan and Rav of the Beis Midrash in his stead .

A few days ago the Belzer Rebbe called Rabbi Fink and asked him to take upon himself the yoke of the rabbinate of the Beis Midrash and to serve as a dayan and posek.

Last Shabbos, before the reading of the Torah, the Belzer Dayan of Bnei Brak Rabbi Shimon Schiff went up to the bimah, and capped Rabbi Fink as Rav of the Beis Midrash. After the prayer, the worshipers went to wish him mazal tov.

Rabbi Yehoshua Fink is a mashpia, a renowned magid and educational director of the Beis Malka girls' institutions of Belz.

He is also active in the youth at risk organization 'Tushia' which has helped hundreds of Haredi youth who dropped out of a schooling framework .

On Purim Rabbi Fink serves as a Purim Rov at the Tisch which the Belzer Rebbe holds, in his words he includes rhymes that trigger a smile on the face of the Rebbe .

Rabbi Fink took on the burden of the rabbinate, will train himself as dayan and posek and will serve as Rav of the community.

Disciples of Rabbi Fink say that there is no doubt that R' Shaya, as he is called, will continue to deal with his many day to day occupations. His students say the Belzer Rebbe promised that he will find another 'Purim Rov' starting this year .

This year he is also in mourning for his father Rabbi Chaim Baruch Fink zt"l of Williamsburg.

Meanwhile, marking the shloshim of Hgrh"i Roitman zt"l, a gathering will be held in the large Beis Midrash in Kiryat Belz, Jerusalem on Thursday 18th Kislev .
