The beis din of HaGaon HaRav Nissim Karelitz Shlita completed the geirus of a couple, both from the United States, and a number of years ago, the beis din processed their son. The finalization of the process for the parents took place this past Monday in the Bnei Brak beis din.

It appears that the respect and concern exhibited by the Rav and his dayanim towards the parents when the son took the step seven years ago had a profound impact on the parents, who eventually decided they too wish to be privileged to take the step and join Am Yisrael. The Rav and the son’s new life made such an impression on the family that a daughter also took the step, two years ago. Another child, a son, is in the midst of the process. He is however quite serious, and it is reported that he wears a suit during the week and a kapota on shabbos, despite the fact he has still not a yid.

Needless to say the parents are most pleased, as their entire family has decided to make the step but it does not stop here. The son has affiliated with one of the chassidic communities in Bnei Brak, and a shidduch followed and he was set for the chasnah. The beis din explained to the parents that in the eyes of halacha, since they were married prior to going to mikve, they are viewed as single, so another wedding was planned.

The parents arrived at R’ Karelitz’s home in the Ramat Aaron neighborhood to wed in accordance with halacha. A minyan of bochrim was brought in and the Rav took care of the rest. Following the chupah, a l’chaim was held in honor of the choson and kalah.

After the modest chasnah was over, they traveled to Yerushalayim to the hall, where the newlyweds took part in the chasnah of their son, who was proudly displaying his new shtreimal. Dad by the way was adorned in his new suit and fedora.
