Some 800 avreichim and their families, talmidim of Yeshivat Migdal Ohz headed by Yechezkel Etrog, took part in a simchas beis hashoeva in the yeshiva sukka in Yerushalayim.

The height of the event was the arrival of HaGaon HaRav Chaim Kanievsky Shlita, who have them a bracha for hatzlacha. It is added that despite the late hour, Rav Kanievsky came into the sukka to participate in the chol hamoed event, bringing a special meaning to the avreichim and talmidim alike.

Rav Etrog presented Rav Kanievsky with an especially beautiful esrog from the Chazon Ish’s field from seeds originating from R’ Yudel Shapira ZT”L, a talmid of the Chazon Ish ZT”L.

Rav Kanievsky inspected the esrog with a smile and turned to his son HaGaon HaRav Y.S. and asked to bring the esrog to permit him to make a bracha.
