Reb Moshe Hillel Hirsch shlita Visits the Belzer Rebbe shlita

In a rare and historic meeting before Shavuos, the Slabodka Rosh Yeshiva, Rav Moshe Hillel Hirsch shlita, paid a special visit to the home of the Belzer Rebbe shlita, marking the first publicized visit of its kind between the two gedolei Torah. Rav Hirsch, who arrived in Yerushalayim for a special chizuk trip ahead of Zeman Matan Toraseinu, met privately with the Rebbe for an elevated discussion centered on the Shloshes Yemei Hagbalah, strengthening Torah learning, and the challenges facing the Torah world.

Rav Hirsch shared that his grandfather, after whom he is named, had been a devoted Belzer chassid who regularly traveled to the Belzer Rebbes in Galicia. At the same time, the Rebbe spoke about the Rosh Yeshiva’s years learning under Rav Aharon Kotler zt”l in Lakewood. The two also discussed the growth of Torah learning among working baalei batim worldwide and stressed the importance of unity between Chassidim and Litvaks during these difficult times. Before departing, the gedolim exchanged heartfelt brachos for continued strength, health, and leadership on behalf of Klal Yisroel.
