In what chassidim of Toldos Aharon are calling an extraordinary miracle, Rav Yisroel Yosef Kohn, the eldest son of the Toldos Aharon Rebbe, escaped without injury from a serious car accident while traveling from Tzefas back to Yerushalayim.

Rav Yisroel Yosef, who serves as the head of the Be’er Yosef kollel network, spent the past Shabbos together with his father, the Toldos Aharon Rebbe, who is currently staying in Tzefas for rest. Last Thursday, Rav Yisroel Yosef traveled north together with a group of kollel members ahead of the upcoming wedding of his son, which is scheduled to take place next week at the central Toldos Aharon beis medrash in Meah Shearim.

Late Motzoei Shabbos, while making his way back to Yerushalayim, the vehicle carrying Rav Yisroel Yosef was involved in a severe accident. Emergency personnel arrived quickly and transported him to the hospital, where he underwent a series of medical evaluations.

To the amazement of family members and chassidim, Rav Yisroel Yosef was released from the hospital Sunday morning in good condition. The driver and everyone else in the vehicle also emerged unharmed in what many described as miraculous circumstances. The car itself was completely crushed and destroyed.

Following his release, Rav Yisroel Yosef returned to the residence where his father is staying in Tzefas. During the Rosh Chodesh Sivan davening, he recited Bircas Hagomel with great emotion, thanking Hashem for the tremendous miracle.

Chassidim have also been stirred by what they describe as a remarkable occurrence during the Torah reading this past Shabbos. While with his father, Rav Yisroel Yosef received the final aliyah of the parsha, which concludes with the words, “And they shall not come to see when the holy vessels are covered, lest they die.” Immediately afterward, the Rebbe reportedly called him over and pointed out that the Targum translates the passage with the phrase “and they shall not die,” emphasizing the words: “and they shall not come to see when the holy vessels are covered, and they shall not die.”
