Amid the painful realization that the Islamic terror wave that began a number of weeks ago continues today, heavy security will be present at the Beis Vishnitz chasenah on Wednesday, 6 Kislev.

Final preparations for the chasenah of a granddaughter of the Vishnitzer Rebbe Shlita are underway. There will be a large police and private security presence to protect the event, including hundreds of armed guards at entrances to the simcha buildings and the nearby area.

The kallah is a daughter of Rav HaTzaddik Rav Yitzchak Shiya Hager, son of the rebbe shlita. The chosson is a grandson of the rebbe’s uncle, the Vishnitz Rebbe of Monsey Shlita.

Expecting thousands of chassidim and guests to take part in the event, askanim decided the wedding will take place in the Toto Lottery Stadium in Holon, especially following the tragedy at the levaya of HaGaon HaRav Shmuel Halevy Wosner ZT”L, when persons were trampled R”L, two fatally.

The rebbe reportedly expressed concerns over the number of expected guests, informing organizers they must maintain the safety of participants at any price. The rebbe is quoted saying “The well-being of the tzibur is the highest priority for the simcha”.

This is why the large hall was rented, to avoid overcrowding in a Bnei Brak venue. As such, transportation will be available for chareidi communities around Israel. The chupah will be held outside near the stadium and the mitzvah tanz in the stadium.

Every chossid received a ticket with a barcode to enter, and this too will contribute to maintaining order. An outside company was hired to deal with the tickets and approving entry. Israel Police is not taking chances either, assigning over 200 police personnel to the chasenah.
