Tens of thousands take part in wedding of Belz Rebbe's grandson
Tens of thousands of haredim from Israel and the world arrived in Jerusalem Tuesday to take part in the wedding of 18-year-old Shalom Rokeach, the eldest and only male grandchild of the Belz Rebbe, who heads one of the largest Hassidic communities in Israel. Being the only male, the newlywed is assumed to be the Rebbe's future heir in leading the community.
A number of Jerusalem streets were shut down because of the celebrations. (Kobi Nachshoni)
