Pinsk-Karlin Rebbe to Spend Shabbos in Kiryas Joel

By Y.M. Lowy

Kiryas Joel is preparing to host the Pinsk-Karlin Rebbe, who is scheduled to spend an upcoming Shabbos in the village as part of a two-week visit to the United States.

The Rebbe arrived in New York early Monday morning and is embarking on a two-week visit to several Jewish communities. The trip is being undertaken to raise much-needed support for his mosdos in Eretz Yisrael.

Before Shabbos, the Rebbe is expected to arrive in Kiryas Joel, where he will remain in a private house in the Woodbury Villas area. Residents and askanim are preparing to welcome the Rebbe and support the ongoing efforts for the mosdos.

Following Shabbos, the Rebbe is scheduled to continue on to visit more local communities as part of his visit.
