15.jpgAmidst the stares of curious locals and the cameras of photojournalists, thousands of people converge upon the kever of the Noam Elimelech in Lizensk, Poland to pour their hearts out.

For the few days surrounding the yartzheit, the town is overrun by yidden, who supply an ample source of income to local establishments there. Among the thousands who visited the kever were many rabbonim and admorim. Event organizers and Hatzolah volunteers coordinated with local authorities to keep the are safe.

    The atmosphere in the Ohel was amazing. People opened their hearts and davening loud to be answered in the Zchus of the tzadik.
    On our flight from London, there was a large group who flew in from America, including HaRav Shmuel Dishon.
    It’s not only Chasidim who come, but Yidden from right across the spectrum.
    May all our Tfilos be niskabel.
