A Belzer chassid, Reb Avidgdor Fried, lives on the corner of Kiryas Belz.  A few months ago, he devised a simple yet effective solution to communicate to the Belz community the timing of the Belzer Rebbe shlita’s tisch on Shabbos on Yom Tov.  Months ago, he devised a simple yet effective solution: raising a white flag to signal the start of the tisch.  This allowed Chassidim to be in the area to prepare for the Rebbe’s arrival.

He came up with a more sophisticated solution in place of the flag.  A special flashing projector has been installed atop a tall pole. The light operates similarly to a patented Shabbos lamp, with a convert that, when removed, allows the light to flash brightly, signaling the start of the tisch.  The flashing light can be seen from afar, ensuring that chassidim from as far as Shamgar and Tnuva are alerted to rush to join the Rebbe.

The new system ensures that no one misses the tisch, regardless of schedule changes.
