Story: Prayers Filled with Vitality

How joyous is the exhilarating sight at each and every prayer of the followers of the tzaddik in the Beis Midrash on Ido HaNavi Street every

day at Shacharis (morning prayer) (which begins before dawn with the morning songs, and elders along with youths already begin to sing and chant to the King, the living and enduring God,

"when the morning stars sing together"). Afterwards, the prayer continues with joy and melodies, and the sound is heard from afar during the hours when the universe is still fast asleep.

And especially on Shabbos and Yom Tov (holidays), a congregation of about a thousand people, may they multiply, stand crowded together, yet they pray and praise with a spaciousness of heart and an indescribable joy

for long hours. And constantly, there is a need to expand the Beis Midrash, "to the right and to the left you shall spread out," and as it is written, "Enlarge the place of your tent."
