Vizhnitzer- Williamsburg Chassidim are filled with great excitement following the announcement that the Vizhnitzer Rebbe of Williamsburg has appointed his only son, Rabbi Chaim Meir, as the Rov of the Vizhnitz-Williamsburg community in Monsey. He will lead the kehillah and oversee all of its operations with the bracha and hadracha of the Rebbe.

Rav Chaim Meir, the Rebbe's only son and son-in-law of the Vizhnitz Rebbe of Beit Shemesh, has resided in Monsey for many years. During that time, he came under the influence of his illustrious grandfather, the Toras Mordechai of Vizhnitz, and distinguished himself in Torah and avodah.

Now, as the Vizhnitz Williamsburg community in Monsey - known as Khal Toras Mordechai - continues to grow and expand, and with the recent purchase of a permanent building for its Shul, the Rebbe has appointed Rav Chaim Meir to serve as the spiritual leader of the community. 

Last Thursday night, during the major “Yesod Eisan” gathering held to establish the building fund for the new Shul, which took place at Ateres Ginendel Hall in Monsey, the Rebbe announced the joyful news during his address. He informed the assembled Chassidim that his only son, Rav Chaim Meir, had been appointed as the community's spiritual leader—an "Ish Al HaEidah"—to stand at the helm of the kehillah, ensure that all of its needs are met, and personally guide the young families and members of the kehillah in every aspect of their lives.
