Brit Kodesh for the Great-Grandson of the Holy “Saraf
” Rabbi Shmuel Shapira zt"l — at the Residence of the Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

Holy Brit: This morning, a Brit was held at the residence of our teacher, Rav Berland shlit"a, for the son of R' Yosef Scheinfeld, may he live and be well, son-in-law of the chassid R' Natan, son of R' Mendel Shapira shlit"a, one of the prominent Breslov chassidim and son of the Seraph, the chassid R' Shmuel Shapira zt"l, one of the great Breslov figures of the previous generation.
The Brit was held with the participation of the grandfather, the chassid R' Natan Shapira, author of the book Sichot HaRav, containing the holy talks of our teacher, the Rav shlit"a, and with the participation of the great-grandfather, the chassid R' Mendel Shapira shlit"a, one of the prominent Breslov chassidim and son of the holy Seraph R' Shmuel Shapira zt"l, one of the great Breslov chassidim of the previous generation. After the Brit, R' Mendel was privileged to receive a holy blessing from our teacher, the Rav shlit"a, who blessed him with longevity until 120 years and robust health!
And his name shall be called in Israel of the newborn: Nachman. May it be the will of Hashem that in the merit of the holy great-grandfather, his parents will be privileged to see much nachas from him, and just as he has entered the covenant, so may he enter into Torah, the wedding canopy, and good deeds.
