Great joy is being felt among Vizhnitz chassidim in Monsey, as news is beginning to spread that the Vizhnitz Rebbe shlit”a is preparing to embark on a special Nesia to Eretz Yisroel together with hundreds of chassidim and yeshiva talmidim.

The purpose of the trip is to spend an uplifting week in Eretz Yisroel, with the highlight expected to be a Shabbos in Meron.

The Rebbe made a commitment last year to the yeshiva talmidim, offering those who excel in their learning the opportunity to join the Rebbe on this historic trip to Eretz Yisroel.

The Rebbe is scheduled to depart on Wednesday, Parshas Ki Savo, and will remain in Eretz Yisroel for approximately one week. During the trip, the Rebbe is expected to visit kevorim of tzaddikim and meet with rabbonim in various cities.

In preparation for the trip, the yeshiva adjusted its schedule and began the summer zman earlier than usual, in order to make up for the learning time.
