The Satmar Rebbe Shlita of Kiryas Yoel arrived in Eretz Yisroel on Tuesday morning, 28 Adar-I for a five-day visit. Unlike previous visits, the rebbe arrived with a relatively small contingent. During his visit, the rebbe will take part in the bar mitzvah of a grandson in Yerushalayim and the chasenah of a nephew in Rishon L’Tzion.

The rebbe will be spending Shabbos in Meron. Most of the chassidim who arrived with the rebbe headed directly to Meron and they will return to the airport on Sunday directly from Meron. There are an estimated 4,000 chassidim from the USA and an additional 700 from Europe who will be with the rebbe on Shabbos.

It is pointed out that for Satmar, which does not visit the Kosel, Meron is the special place they visit during trips to Eretz Yisrael.

Rebbe’s Schedule:

· After arriving, the rebbe was taken to Savion to rest until the simcha in Yerushalayim on Tuesday evening, a bar mitzvah of his grandson who is also a grandson of the Dushinsky Rebbe Shlita. From there he returns to Savion.
