Massive crowds gathered on Wednesday night to celebrate the Chasunah of the daughter of the Ashlag Rebbe, author of the sefer Bnei Heichala on the Zohar.
Admorim, rabbonim, mekubalim, and hundreds of chassidim filled the Heichlei Malchus halls in Bnei Brak to take part in the simcha, which drew participants from across the chassidic and kabbalistic world.
The event was marked by powerful displays of joy, song, and dancing, as leading spiritual figures joined together to honor the Rebbe and his family on this special occasion.
A full photographic recap of the celebration was documented by renowned photographer Shuki Lerer for YWN:

You really found it necessary to make the cover pic one of him smoking a cigar? I feel like this is an article out of the Enquirer tabloid more than a “yeshiva world news” website.
Agree with beisyosef – please use good judgement over what is going to “sell”
I guess in order to draw in all these yeshiva or ex yeshiva type svacher boys seeing a rabbi who looks kool may give them some chizuk. So many of these weaker boys are drawn to rabbis who play music such as the late Shlomo carlbach who was one of Americas firsts kiruv rabbis. He could have been the next rabbi Moshe Feinstein or Rabbi Aharon Kotler type leader but chose to lead the masses of poor broken souls. Imagine in this world him being like on the level of the Gedolim like Satmar Reb yoelish or Lubavitch rebbe. He had the potential and deep learning. Instead he became the rabbi of the holy beggars. His songs and spirit electrify so many humble yidden in every sect. There were all kinds of rebbes who reached out to Jews in all kinds of ways to inspire them from the Baal Shem Tov to the sanzer rebbe to Rabbi Nachnan etc.
