An unconventional sight was seen in Meah Shearim on Monday as Mercaz HaRav students and chassidim of Toldos Avraham Yitzchak mingled together next to a chuppah with the Toldos Avraham Yitzhak Rebbe serving as mesader Kiddushin.
According to a B’Chadrei Chareidim report, the chasan and several of his friends, talmidim of Mercaz HaRav, have been frequent visitors in Toldos Avraham Yitzchak for years, attending tischim almost every Shabbos. The chasan developed a relationship with the Rebbe and became his talmid. When he became a chasan, he asked him to serve as his mesader kiddushin after receiving permission from his Rosh Yeshivah, HaRav Yaakov Shapira.
HaRav Shapira and the chasan’s friends from Mercaz HaRav attended the emotional event, and the Mercaz HaRav talmidim and the Yerushalmim sang together at the kabalas panim in the Beis Medrash of Toldos Avraham Yitzchak. The chuppah was held outside the Beis Medrash where all the chuppohs of the Toldos Avraham Yitzchak are held.
Below, talmidim approach the Rebbe for a bracha after the wedding.
The second part of the wedding took place in Shiloh.

That’s news worth reporting!
The Rebbe is one of our generation’s lamed vov Tzadikim.
This makes me very emotional. Oh do we need more of this Achdus……BH!!
The merkaz talmid looks and dresses like he became a full fledged Toldos chosid.
what a misleading headline?
they have 2 diff. derachim that agree on 90% of yiddishkeit but the other 10% makes them very diff.
no parent has control over what twists & turns a teen takes as he grows . toldos av yitzchok is a blend of yerushalmi fire with visnitz emotions as the rebbe was a talmid of both schools.
bez”h the chosson will land and find his correct place
It looks like both sides also wore knit kipot for the occasion.
Looks like a conversion story.
Did Toldos AY go to Merkaz Harav too, or was it just one way?
Seems like a youngster moved from one group to another (does he still say Hallel on ה’ אייר)?

Talk about spreading germs!
We have the zechut that our son was the one who originally brought the new Chatan to his first tish.
He was at the wedding, though not found in any of the pictures.
