Yesterday (Sunday) evening a Hachnasas Sefer Torah took place in the Great Satmar Beit Midrash in Borough Park-Brooklyn. The Rebbe especially came to the event from his home in Monroe.
In mid-trip Borough - Park closed their roads, after a citizen jumped off the Horizon bridge and committed suicide. Satmar Hasid, "The Rebbe, who travels without a convoy of cars and no police escort, found himself in a traffic jam. Due to lack of choice, cars from Kiryat Yoel and Borough Park were called in order to pave the way for the Rebbe and prevent him from getting stuck in traffic, which went on for about 15 miles. "
After the Hachnasas Sefer Torah, the Rebbe went to a party held in the Williamsburg neighborhood where ninth grade children were assessed on their studies. From there the Rebbe went to Nichum Avelim, Rabbi Naftali Moshe Indig.
But this was not the end of the day: "ensembles who accompanied the Rebbe, earlier from Williamsburg were on their way back to Kiryat Yoel, as the Rebbe did not want to travel in a convoy on his way back unnecessarily. One of the vehicles, where eight Gabbais and trustees were driving, crashed while traveling on Route 17, leading to Kiryat Yoel, by a van that 'cut them' in the middle of the journey. "
Miraculously, all the passengers escaped unharmed, except for the driver Yitzchak Isaac (son of Akka) Kahane, who was lightly wounded in the leg, and was taken to hospital by the Hatzalah volunteers from Kiryat Yoel- Monsey, where he had foot surgery today.
The Rebbe's vehicle arrived on the scene about a quarter of an hour after the accident, and the Rebbe stopped the car to see that everyone was safely.
