After spending the past month in Europe, the Bnei Brak Vizhnitzer Rebbe Rabbi Yisroel Hager has issued a new regulation for his hasidim that takes effect on his return to Israel today, the haredi website Behadrei Haredim reported. That regulation? No Vizhnitz weddings can have photographers if the rebbe is present.
Meanwhile, this coming Sunday the rebbe will leave for the US along with other hasidic rebbes from the Agudath Israel faction of the United Torah Judaism political party to stage a large protest in New York against the draft of haredim into Israel’s military and Israeli government budget cuts to haredi yeshivas.
