The final Sheva Berachos (the seven wedding blessings celebrated throughout the week after the wedding) for the great-grandson of The Rav, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a— the esteemed groom, Nachman Zucker (may he be granted long life), son of his grandson, the honorable Rabbi Shmuel Yitzchak Zucker, son-in-law of the chassidic Rav, Rabbi Binyamin Cohen shlit"a—took place with the bride, daughter of the honorable Rabbi Nachum Aryeh Dov Haas, son of the chassidic Rav, Rabbi Moshe Yosef Haas shlit"a, son-in-law of the chassidic Rav, Rabbi Shlomo Chaim Richter shlit"a.

The final Sheva Berachos gathering took place on Sunday, the 21st of Shevat, in the holy residence of The Rav shlit"a.

Close to 17:35, The Rav shlit"a entered his holy residence, while around the table were all those present— the honored “royal family” (an affectionate title for the Rav’s family) and friends.

At first, the orchestra played for several minutes songs of joy and thanksgiving in honor of the groom and bride, in the joy of the house of the Tzaddik (righteous leader).

After the singing, The Rav shlit"a began delivering his holy words for about 40 minutes, with fiery passion, on the greatness of the joy of a groom and bride; and on the sugya (Talmudic passage) of “Rabbah slaughtered Rabbi Zeira” regarding Purim; and the episode of Shimon and Levi; and the dispute between the Rambam and the Ramban regarding this matter (a summary of the shiur is later in the article).

At the conclusion of the shiur, he began “Shir HaMa’alos” (the Psalm recited before Birchas HaMazon), and honored the grandfather, the chassidic Rav Rabbi Moshe Yosef Haas shlit"a, to lead the zimun (invitation to Birchas HaMazon) over the cup of wine. At the end, The Rav shlit"a was honored with all of the final seven blessings.

After the meal concluded, The Rav shlit"a began songs and dancing with tremendous joy— the joy of groom and bride in the joy of the house of the Tzaddik. For about half an hour, The Rav shlit"a danced and rejoiced with the “royal family” and with all the public who merited to enter his residence for this great celebration.

After about an hour and a half from the beginning of the gathering, The Rav shlit"a recited Kaddish, and added a few words to the grandfather, the chassidic Rav Rabbi Moshe Yosef Haas shlit"a, about the great stature of this groom, and about his diligence and his tremendous avodah (holy service) in Torah and mitzvos.
