In a rare and heartfelt communication, the Boyaner Rebbe has reached out to his Chassidim in the United States with a special invitation. Citing health-related challenges that prevent him from traveling abroad, the Rebbe has asked his American followers to journey to Eretz Yisroel for a meaningful gathering during Shabbos Parshas Yisro.

The Rebbe noted that, in the past, he would visit New York every few months, but it has now been years since his last trip. In his message, the Rebbe reflected on the connection his grandfather, Rav Mordechai Shlomo of Boyan zt”l, shared with the New York community, as well as his own time spent there.

“I have great feelings for the people of the United States,” the Rebbe wrote, adding, “Since you have basked in the close proximity of my zaide zt”l, who from his holy place shone light on the land and its residents, and especially for those who were close to him, the anash of New York.”

The Rebbe fondly recalled “the good days when we gathered together with our kehillah in the United States,” sharing that those memories remain deeply ingrained in his heart. “Therefore, it occurred to me at this time to gather together as we did in previous years,” he continued. “I therefore express the desire to invite the Chassidim of New York to come here to Eretz Hakodesh to spend Shabbos together, Shabbos Kodesh Parshas Yisro.”

Indeed, many Chassidim are now preparing for the trip, with plans to leave the Tuesday before that Shabbos and remain until the following Sunday. The Rebbe will host the gathering at a location in the north of Israel.

Additionally, the Rebbe acknowledged the financial challenges faced by mosdos and announced that a fundraising effort will accompany the gathering to help alleviate these difficulties.
