munkatcherFinal preparations are currently underway ahead of the upcoming simcha in the Munkatcher hoif. The much anticipated wedding of the Rebbe shlita’s grandson is set to take place this coming Monday, 16 Elul (September 3rd). The choson,  Chaim Eluzar – named after his great grandfather, the Minchas Eluzar of Munkatch – is the oldest son of Rav  Yosef Horowitz, Rosh Yeshiva CHaim V’Sholom, son in law of the Munkatcher Rebbe shlita. The kallah is the youngest daughter of Rav Shmuel Dovid Krausz, Udvari Rov, son in law of the Verdaner Rebbe.

The simcha will begin this Shabbos parshas Ki Setze with the Shabbos Aufruf. Hundreds of chasidim and family members will assemble in the Munkatcher Bais Medrash in Boro Park to join in the tefillos and Tischen of the Rebbe shlita. Motzaei Shabbos will be especially joyous when immediately after Shalosh Seudos and havdalah, a Furshpiel will be held in the main beis medrash accompanied by music, dancing and divrei torah.

The wedding itself will take place the following Monday, commencing at the Munkatcher Bais Medrash on 47th Street and 14th Avenue. The kabolas ponim will take place in the central bais medrash, while the women will celebrate in the nearby Anshe Sfard Hall on 45th Street and 14th Avenue. The chuppah will take place on the promenade in front of the shul on an especially erected elevated chuppah to ensure that all participants can see and hear all that transpires.

Following the chuppah, special buses will ferry the throngs of chasidim to the cavernous Palace Ballrooms on McDonald Avenue where the celebration will continue. During the meal, thousands of chasidim and well-wishers will have the opportunity to personally wish mazal tov to the Rebbe and mechutanim. One of the highlights of the night will be when the venerable grandfather of the chosson, the Rebbe shlita will dance the customary mitzvah tantz before the kallah. Chasidim from all over the globe, including Eretz Yisroel, Canada, Europe and even far off Australia will be arriving this week to Brooklyn eager to participate in this momentous simcha.

On a related note, Munkatcher Chassidim in Williamsburg are preparing to celebrate a double simcha. Due to Shabbos Sheva Brochos the Rebbe shlita will be spending Shabbos Parshas Ki Savo in Williamsburg for the first time in thirteen years. Intense preparations are being made to help accommodate the multitudes of chasidim who are expected to join the Rebbe for Shabbos.
