Some 800 avreichim and their families, talmidim of Yeshivat Migdal Ohz headed by Yechezkel Etrog, took part in a simchas beis hashoeva in the yeshiva sukka in Yerushalayim.

The height of the event was the arrival of HaGaon HaRav Chaim Kanievsky Shlita, who have them a bracha for hatzlacha. It is added that despite the late hour, Rav Kanievsky came into the sukka to participate in the chol hamoed event, bringing a special meaning to the avreichim and talmidim alike.

Rav Etrog presented Rav Kanievsky with an especially beautiful esrog from the Chazon Ish�s field from seeds originating from R� Yudel Shapira ZT�L, a talmid of the Chazon Ish ZT�L.

Rav Kanievsky inspected the esrog with a smile and turned to his son HaGaon HaRav Y.S. and asked to bring the esrog to permit him to make a bracha.
