As Matzav.com has reported, history will be made next Tuesday, as the first-ever chasunah in the court of Ger will take place on American shores, affording the chassidim in America to fully participate in this event of holiness and joy. Chassidim have already flocked in throngs to join the rebbe for Rosh Chodesh davening on Sunday morning.
The event required preregistration. And when the numbers began creeping up, it became clear that Bell Works would be unable to accommodate the crowd.
This afternoon it was announced that the venue for the massive wedding has been changed to a Monsey locale, where the Rebbe has been staying.
It had been slated to take place at the Massive Bell Works venue, in Holmdel, New Jersey, which is owned by the great ba’al tzeddakah, Mr. Ralph Zucker. Mr. Zucker and his dedicated staff have gone above and beyond in preparing for this event—and the askonim in charge of arranging the wedding have effusively praised their efforts.
The Rockland Community College Campus holds a massive arena that will be able to accommodate the massive crowd—both of American chassidim who will be participating, as well as the Chassidim from Eretz Yisroel who will be making their way here.
A separate venue for the children, called the “kinder tisch,” as well as the Kabbolas Panim, has been graciously hosted in the large Viznitz Monsey beis Medrash on Phyllis Terrace. The Chupah and the rest of the wedding will then take place on the RCC campus.

What???!
Bell Works is 100 times bigger indoor than this silly RCC Complex! They basically decided they wanted the wedding in Monsey, period!
Now with Covid on the rise again. I am not sure is all this publicity is the best idea..
If you got your 3rd shot everybody will be fine.
Which Gerer Rebbe is this? Rav Yaakov Aye shlit”a or Rav Shaul shlit”a who both live in Israel?
Neither. It’s my next door neighbor, Reb Hershel.
can someone please post the times and the schedule for the chasuna?
This is a reply to poster #1,. Bell is in Jersey and the new Covid regulations in Jersey would require everyone to wear a mask so they had to switch it to NY to avoid that discomfort.
I hope they all wear masks for 2 reasons. Reason 1. Safety of all who are in attendance. Reason 2. If all or most are not wearing masks the photos of this chasuna will be on television and in publications all over the world as the biggest chillul Hashem. I hope everyone is safe and everything goes off as planned. Mazel un Brocho !!
12:06am, learn a definition of Chilul H: decrease of kovod shamaim in the world. Lack of goyishe approval has nothing to do with Chilul H.
Stupid useless masks have openings larger than the coronavirus particle and as such do absolutely nothing to stop covid. Hence, if you insist on wearing a mask, please be consistent – stop using cups and drink your water out of a strainer.
“history will be made next Tuesday, as the first-ever chasunah in the court of Ger will take place on American shores”
There was a Gerrer chassunah in the USA many years ago, when son of the Pnei Menachem married the daughter of R. Menashe Hakatan, משנה הלכות. It was held in Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY. But the Pnei Menachem was not the Rebbe then yet.
The RCC is a 5 minute drive from the mansion where the Gerer Rebbe is staying. The Place in NJ is closer to the Chsidim who live mainly in Boro Park.
yidden in america are trying so hard to cut down on the expenses of weddings. we are begging people with means to show that it’s possible to get married without it costing as much as the average house in boro park. i am very disappointed in the upcoming gerr wedding where people have make reservations to be allowed to attend. ger has the opportunity–despite the vast number of chassidim–to show the world that it can be done. a godol with the prominence of a rebbe like this one has a responsibility to klal yisroel. and dont tell me that it’s all because that’s what the chassidim want. sometimes a rebbe has to say NO
