In the Zutchka-Amsana chassidus, grand preparations had been underway for a joyous Shabbos aufruf and festive forshpiel to celebrate the upcoming wedding of the Rebbe’s son. The chosson, Shalom Rosenbaum, a talmid of Yeshivas Mir, is set to marry the daughter of the Trisk-Tolna Rebbe of Monsey. The wedding is scheduled to take place in two weeks in the United States.
Given that the wedding is to be held in the U.S., the chassidus had arranged for a major aufruf celebration next Shabbos, as well as a lively forshpiel on Motzoei Shabbos. A large tent was already planned to be erected in the courtyard of the Zutshka-Amsana beis medrash on Rechov Yona Hanavi in Bnei Brak.
However, this week, the chassidus was alerted that if the chosson attempted to leave the country as originally scheduled—after the next Shabbos—he would be arrested at Ben Gurion Airport. He was advised that he would only be able to depart safely if he left by yesterday, Thursday.
In a swift change of plans, the chosson quickly packed his belongings and, together with his father, the Rebbe, boarded a flight to the U.S. on Wednesday. He will now remain in America until the wedding takes place in two weeks.
As a result of his unexpected and expedited departure, all scheduled events—the Shabbos aufruf and the forshpiel—have been canceled.

Is this because of the army draft? The article does not specify why he would be arrested
It’s missing from the article- why would get arrested if he leaves later??
As we know, the Tziyonim cannot be trusted at all. They can even arrest him for who knows how long.
Am I the only one who never heard of the Zutchka-Amsana Rebbe?
Why???
Despicable!
Setting the wrong example for others in this same position. You can never convince me that serving the country you live in, is against Torah values. Where was the Torah learning refusnicks on October 6? People benefit from the state and claim that they give back by learning in yeshiva, maybe I’m living in lala land but I’m having a real hard time believing this.
You are living in Lala Land. Show us where it says in the Torah that one must serve in a secular G-dless anti-Torah immoral army.
Cancelling a forespiel is unheard of. Reconsider or find a REAL heter from rhisoynim,
I’m glad he moved to MONSey where he live like a trie yidd.
It’s 2 weeks before the wedding. So it was only a forshpiel for friends. The real forshpiel is the Shabbos before the wedding.
What happened?
Huh? What’s a forshpiel? Also an aufruf is an aliyah that the choson gets on the Shabbos prior to the chasunah. So if the headline is correct, does that mean he’s not getting an aliyah?
I can’t answer that, but what I could say is that I have major heartburn now from wolfing down this bag of barbeque kettle chips. I never learn my lesson.
Something is missing from this story. If it’s about the draft then what difference does it make if he flees now or later, his name is on the list of draft dodgers he’ll get arrested when they see him flee. Obviously it’s something more to this story.
He fled. He’s not in Israel anymore.
