New From Artscroll: Stories That Warm The Heart
Stories That Warm The Heart
From the author of the popular Stories for the Jewish Heart series come the most heartwarming stories ever!
Bestselling author Rabbi Binyomin Pruzansky finds Hashem's Hand - and, yes, great stories - everywhere. In this unforgettable collection we will meet a starving 1960s runaway who looks for food and finds - in addition to a good meal - the beauty of the Gemara and a whole new way of life. We read the touching story of a woman who raised her 13 siblings after their mother's death, and, after years of waiting, finally became a mother of her own long-awaited child. An autistic child prays and a quiet erev Shabbos miracle takes place; a man learns to truly mourn the lost Temple - and at the same time helps rebuild his own destroyed home and family.
Stories that Warm the Heart inspires, touches, teaches and, of course, warms our hearts and our souls. ORDER ONLINE HERE

The City of Belz
Belz (Ukrainian: Белз, Polish: Bełz, Yiddish/Hebrew: בעלז translit. Beltz), a small city in the Lviv Oblast (province) of Western Ukraine (pre WW2 in Poland), near the border with Poland, is located between the Solokiya river (affluent of the Bug river, called Western Bug) and the Rzeczyca stream.
The current estimated population is 2408 (as of 2004), making it the smallest city in Ukraine.
Belz is a Hasidic dynasty named for the town of Belz in Western Ukraine. The town has existed since at least the 10th century with the Jewish community being established during the 14th century. The town became home to Hasidic Judaism in the early 19th century. At the beginning of World War II, Belz had 6,100 inhabitants, of which 3,600 were Jewish.
The founder of the dynasty was Rabbi Shalom Rokeach, also known as the Sar Shalom, who was inducted as rabbi of Belz in 1817
Belz today
Since 1966, Rabbi Yissachar Dov Rokeach has presided over both the expansion of Belz educational institutions and the growth of Hasidic populations in Israel, the United States, and Europe. Like other Hasidic groups, the Belz community has established a variety of self-help organizations, including one of the largest patient-advocacy organizations of its kind, a free medical counseling center, and an affordable medical treatment clinic in the New York area.[1]
Today Belz has Hasidim all over the world including Israel, USA, Canada, Belgium, England, Switzerland, and Australia.
Belz in the USA
The largest number of Belzer Hasidim outside of Israel are living in the USA, mostly in the Borough Park neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, which has seven Belzer synagogues and nine dayanim.
The biggest synagogue is on 43rd St. and is operated by long-time gabbai Reeven Chayim Weinberger, who was once a meshamesh (personal assistant) of the current rabbi.
