An uplifting Shabbat of chasidic thought and inspiration is coming to Teaneck! The community will be honored on Shabbat Parshat Lech Lecha (Oct 19-20) with the presence of HaRav Shmuel Y. Borenstein, Rebbe of Sochotchov. The Rebbe shlita is the direct heir to the dynasty of the Avnei Neizer and the Shem M’Shmuel, the giants of Polish Jewry. The Rebbe also descends from other great luminaries such as the Beis HaLevi of Brisk and the Rebbes of Kotsk and Radomsk.

The legacy of the Rebbes of Sochotchov was one of brilliant and analytical Torah scholarship combined with total dedication to the needs of their flock. The current Rebbe is respected for his ability to relate to people both on a scholarly and on a personal level. His broad knowledge of the Polish chasidic masters is matched by his deep compassion for all who seek his help. The Rebbe leads the beis midrash of Sochotchov in Bayit V’Gan as well as the newly established beis midrash and kollel in Beit Shemesh.

The Rebbe will be spending Shabbat at the home of Miriam and Alan Greenspan. He will be davening at both Congregation Beth Abraham and Congregation Bnai Yeshurun over the course of Shabbat and sharing divrei Torah and divrei bracha throughout Shabbat.
