Beautiful video! Thanks for uploading.
Its soo special to see this footage. People didnt push or shout and everybody had the chance to get to the rebbe, who showed such warmth and love towards everyone, he didnt even need a gabbai to tell him where to go or what to do.
If 20 years ago that was normal why cant we still see it today?
I agree with u, its so calm and no pushing and shoving.....its just so pashut and happy.how different it is today.
It is very special to see the Bobover Rebbe display his Ahavas Yisroel to everybody he meets - mamesh a kiddush h'shem. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to see this inspiring clip.
I have heard from somebody who was at this special wedding that the Bobover Rebbe Zatzal was honoured by The Antwerp Rov Rav Kreiswirth Zatzal with Siddur Kidushin by the Chupah. This was almost a unique occurance as the Antwerp Rov always was the Mesader Kidushin by Antwerp Kehilloh Weddings - and the Bobover Rebbe reciprocated by showing Rav Kreiswirth great honour throughout the Seudoh and by the dancing. These were the Torah Giants of a previous generation!
The Bobover Rebbe Zatzal was known for his ability to make each and every person he met with feel extra special - both young and old. In this clip one sees this a number of times. Once when he calls over one of the older guests during the dancing and holds him close whilst seeming to explain to the Antwerp Rav his conection to this particular Yied and on another occasion he warmly holds on to the hand of a young Bochur who wished him Mazel Tov and the Rebbe explains his closeness to various members of the Bochur's family. What an amazing memory of this Godol HaDor. Chaval All D'Ovdin - Ve'Ein Mishtakchin.
