Ahead of the levaya of the Seret-Vishnitz Rebbe ZT”L the chassidus’ beis din is instructing all chassidim over bar mitzvah to tear kriya and observe one hour of aveilus.

Members of the beis din Rabbi Dovid Shlomo Zoldon Shlita, Rabbi Eliezer Grossman Shlita and Rabbi Yaakov Deutsch Shlita released a kol korei to chassidim informing everyone over 13 to tear kriya, on the upper lift side by one’s heart, one tefach in length and to make the bracha Baruch Dayan HaEmmes. This is to be done before the meis leaves the beis medrash in Haifa.

All work is to stop and stores of the chassidus are to be closed during the levaya.
