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
Brit Kodesh: This morning, a Brit was held at the residence of The Rav, Rabbi Berland shlit"a for the son of R' Yosef Sheinfeld (may he live long), son-in-law of the chassid R' Natan, son of R' Mendel Shapira shlit"a—one of the distinguished Breslov chassidim, and son of the “Saraf,” the chassid R' Shmuel Shapira zt"l, one of the great figures of Breslov in the previous generation.
The Brit took place with the participation of the grandfather, the chassid R' Natan Shapira, author of the sefer Sichos HaRav, from the holy teachings of The Rav shlit"a. Also participating was the great-grandfather, the chassid R' Mendel Shapira shlit"a—one of the distinguished Breslov chassidim, and son of the holy “Saraf,” Rabbi Shmuel Shapira zt"l, among the greatest Breslov chassidim of the previous generation. After the Brit, R' Mendel also merited to receive a holy blessing from The Rav shlit"a, who blessed him with long life until 120 years, and with strong, enduring health!
And his name in Israel was called: Nachman. May it be Hashem’s will that in the merit of the holy great-grandfather, his parents will merit to see abundant nachas from him; and just as he entered the covenant, so may he enter Torah, the wedding canopy, and good deeds.
