The Sheva Brachot of Rubinstein and Reicher Along with a Shiur in Ketzot

Today, Thursday, the day of Shabbat Ekev 5778, August 2, 2018, the Sheva Brachot were held for the grooms, Shmuel Isaac, son of Rabbi Natan Rubinstein, grandson of the Gaon and Tzaddik, Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a, and for the groom Nachman, son of Rabbi Chaim Reicher shlit"a, great-grandson of Rav Berland. Before Rav Berland went out to the congregation waiting in the prayer hall, the Rav held the festive meal for the Sheva Brachot in his home together with the family, while the Sheva Brachot themselves were conducted by the Rav with the entire holy congregation in the hall.

Before the Sheva Brachot, the Gaon and Tzaddik, Rav Berland shlit"a, delivered a profound lesson in 'Ketzot HaChoshen,' in which he emphasized, among other things, the obligation of the sanctity of the Jewish home, which includes the sanctity of thought and action, and immediately afterward, the Sheva Brachot ceremony was held.

After the Sheva Brachot, Rav Berland shlit"a prayed the Mincha and Arvit prayers with the congregation with the wonderful melody and the composure famous to the tzaddik, the foundation of the world.
