On the third day of the Chizuk trip in Europe, the Gerrer Rebbe & Rav Shteinman split up with Rav Shteinman going to Manchester and Gateshead (UK) & the Gerrer Rebbe visiting Antwerp, Belgium.

The Gerrer Rebbe arrived in Antwerp & stayed at a villa in Westmalle BE owned by the Gerrer philanthropist R’ Yankel Rosenkrantz. After shachris hundreds of people went to the Rebbe for brochos & gave him K’vitlach. All the local Chadarim came to the Rebbe as well including Belz, Viznitz, Yesodei Hatorah and Antwerpener Cheder.

The Rebbe visited the Psevorker Rebbe (R’ Leibish) and also went to the home of the Ravad R’ Sternbuch Shlita.

The Rebbe then returned to Eretz Yisroel. 
Rav Shteinman visited Manchester & Gateshead and visited many Rabbonim at their homes.

In Manchester he went to the special erected tent and spoke to all the children from all the local schools. All the boys were in the tent and the girls watched via video hook-up to the Bais Yackov high school which is situated just behind the tent.
 
He then spoke to the Bochurim from all the Yeshivos in town, which took place in Yeshivas Sharei Torah followed by a special drasha for the Melamdim from all the Yeshivos.

(The itinerary from Gateshead will be added later.)
