Dancing Before the Groom
SimchaChildren & shidduchim
On the way to the wedding in Chernobyl, Rav Shlomo and Sholom Shachna stopped in Berditchev, where Rav Levi Yitzchok honored them with a festive meal. When they set out again, he sent musicians to accompany them out of town and danced before them himself.
Afterward his wife asked him, "Was it not enough to treat them to such a banquet? Why did you lower yourself by dancing like a child?" Rav Levi Yitzchok replied, "How could I not dance before the groom, when Eliyahu HaNavi was dancing too?"
