Rav Elimelech Biderman Enters Lelover Beis Medrash for First Time in 38 Years for Son’s Engagement

Mar 16, 2026·1 min read

A historic engagement celebration took place Sunday night in Bnei Brak, marking a moment of significance in the Lelover kehillah. The event celebrated the engagement of the granddaughter of the Lelover Rebbe to the youngest son of the renowned mashpia Rav Elimelech Biderman.

The celebration was held at the Lelover beis medrash in the Ramat Lelov neighborhood of Bnei Brak. The kallah is the daughter of Rav Michoel Eliezer Biderman, son of the Lelover Rebbe and son-in-law of the Dzikov–Vizhnitzer Rebbe.

The chosson, Shlomo Biderman, is a talmid at the Tchernobyl Yeshiva in Elad.

Observers within the community described the event as particularly historic, noting that Rav Meilech Biderman had not entered the Lelover beis medrash in Bnei Brak for 38 years. The building had served as the beis medrash of his uncle, the Lelover Rebbe, Rav Shimon of Lelov zt”l.

On Sunday evening, that long-standing gap was symbolically closed when Rav Biderman arrived at the beis medrash for the engagement celebration, now connected through marriage to the family of the late Rebbe Rav Shimon of Lelov.
