Chassidim gathered on motzei Yom Kippur to celebrate the 90th birthday of the Seret-Vishnitz Rebbe Shlita. The rebbe received a special gift. Chassidim dedicated hours of limud Torah to him on the special day.
While the rebbe was weak he took part in many Yom Kippur tefilos in the main shul. He was the chazan for Kol Nidrei and maariv. After tefilla the rebbe held a tisch and chassidim sang zemiros Shabbos. Chassidim add the rebbe was at the amud for Neila as well.
Shortly after the fast they gathered to mark the rebbe’s birthday. The rebbe was informed that thousands of blatt Gemara were learned to mark the special occasion.
