Belz & Beyond
WORLDWIDE GATHERING FOR WOMEN
“The Royalty of Belz”
![]() |
A few years ago, the Belzer Rebbe shlita initiated that Belzer women worldwide gather during the nine days for words of Chizzuk and inspiration. The gathering takes place in Yerushalayim, with live satellite hookups and recordings across cities in Eretz Yisroel and countries worldwide. The evening’s theme was “The Royalty of Belz!” The Belzer Rebbetzin tilt’’a warmly welcomed everyone with her opening remarks: “What is Belz?” Belz is Emunah, refinement, connection with one another, and above all – Torah and Yiras Shamayim! The Rebbetzin spoke about a woman’s important role in her home – she is a partner in the Torah, carrying the כתר תורה – the Torah crown! Hagoan Reb Mordechai Schiff shlita from New York spoke about the strength of a Chassidus as a whole. Together, they can combat the fierce winds and cold world today. He quoted the first Belzer Rebbe, The Sar Shalom of Belz zt’’l, who proclaimed: “בעלזא וועט זיין א ווינקל פאר תורה און יראת שמים ביז משיח וועט קומען” – Belz will be a ‘corner’ for Torah and fear of Hashem until Moshiach will come.” Reb Schiff asked, why a corner? Isn’t Belz the center? It says in Tehillim:”אשתך כגפן פוריה בירכתי ביתך” – your wife is like a fruitful vine at the corner of your home — the pride of Belz is when the “ווינקל” – the wife creates a home of Torah – building a home that serves as a shul for her husband, and a yeshiva and school for her children — then, Belz can be the center! Reb Schiff emphasized “אשרינו מה טוב חלקנו”—to wake up each morning and be grateful to belong! The Yinger Rebbetzin tilt’’a (Reb Aharon Mordechai Rokeach shlita’s Rebbetzin) shared a message from the Belzer Rebbe shlita –the mother builds a home like a תמר – a palm tree. Its beauty, height, and functionality depend on the roots – the mother who lays the foundation of her home with Torah, Chassidus, and Ehrlichkeit. The evening concluded with a fascinating panel by Hagoan Reb Yonah Friedman shlita, Hagoan Reb Menashe Reisman Shlita, and Hagoan Reb Yankel Ringel shlita. They spoke about the uniqueness of Belz: – the power of the Belzer Rebbe shlita, our ship captain, who is not afraid to stand out amidst the stormy waves with tools to persevere and embrace the truth. – Belz is a place where every person can achieve their utmost best based on his area of strength (whether one is learning, earning, or whatever position they hold). –like a king wears a crown with pride, even though it is heavy on his head. A Belzer Chassid proudly carries the Belzer profile – it personifies who I am! The evening was rounded up, quoting President Trump’s initial campaign slogan: “Let’s make America Great Again!” “LET’S MAKE BELZ GREAT AGAIN!” Greater in Torah!Greater in Chassidus!Greater in Helping one another! Together, we can establish a generation that won’t be ashamed to greet Moshiach speedily in our days! Amein. |
