Chasidim Hold
Huge Wedding

Jerusalem (JTA) — The
largest wedding ever held in
the modern history of Israel
ended joyously at dawn, as
the last of 30,000 guests
departed from the 429-
ft.-long marquee erected for
the occasion in the
Jerusalem Chasidic suburb
of Kiryat Belz.
Aharon Mordechai, 17,
only son and heir of
Yissachar Dov Rokeach, the
rebbe of Belz, had taken as
his bride Sarah-Leah
Lemberger, daughter of a
devout but little-known
rabbi, Shimon Lemberger,
from the northern township
of Kiryat Ata.
"She is her own `yichus,' "
jubilant Belzer Chasidim
told outsiders, referring to
her family heritage. "Our
rebbe wanted a student at
one of our seminaries, who
has all the qualities and
merits."
Sarah-Leah and her new
husband were married by
the groom's grandfather, the
84-year-old rebbe of
Vishnitz, on a huge plat-
form-chupah under the
stars.
Rabbi Eliezer Shach, 94,
leader of the non-Chasidic
fervently Orthodox Jews in
Israel, came from Bnei Brak
to bless the young couple
under the chupah.
For the Belz Chasidic
community, the second-
largest in Israel after G-er,
the wedding marked the
high-point in a process of
rapid — in the Chasidim's
view miraculous — recovery
from near- total annihilation
in the Holocaust.
The previous rebbe,
Aharon Rokeach, escaped to
Palestine through Hungary,
a broken man, to head a sect
that had been reduced from
tens of thousands to a few
hundred.
Now the wedding brought
together thousands of
Chasidim from Belzer bran-
ches around the world and
many thousands more in
Israel itself.
One-and-a-half tons of
gefilte fish and 39,000
gallons of soft drinks were
among the items on the
caterer's menu what was
surely the largest meal
eaten in the city since Tem-
ple times.
Earlier in the week, reviv-
ing a "rebbisher" tradition,
the Belzer rebbe gave a
prenuptial feast for the poor
of Jerusalem.
Yissachar Dov himself
poured the drinks and served
the food.
