Mazel tov to Yaakov Yosef Grunewald, one of the bochrim who was imprisoned in Japan on becoming a chosson. His kallah is a daughter of R’ Yudel Yaakov. The L’chaim was held in Bnei Brak this week, attended by many rabbonim including Rabbi Moshe Shaul Klein Shlita, rav of the Ohr Chaim neighborhood as well as many of those who worked tirelessly for his release.
It was an emotional moment when one of the other former prisoners, Yoel Ze’ev Goldstein arrived to wish him mazel tov. Goldstein is getting married in the coming weeks in Manchester IY”H.

MAZEL TOV TO YOU,YOUR FAMILY and allthe YIDDEN that helped you and all who daven for you
Why is this news? He did somthing wrong, paid for it, and now its time to out of the limelight
To No. 4.
Its news because of the time, effort and $$$ that hundreds, if not thousands, of yiddden committed to pidyon shevuim for this bochur. I’m not sure his chevrah have learned from his experience but for those who worked so hard for his freedom, this was a wonderful story to read.
Let’s hope he keeps closer tabs on his kids than his parents did on him.
Arizona, what is that supposed to mean. It’s so easy to judge others isn’t it?
