Simchas Torah in Skver

Shabbos & Yom TovTorah learningSimcha

A story ofRav Yaakov Yosef Twersky of Skverהרב יעקב יוסף בן דוד טווערסקי

Rav Neta Freund once related that every year on Simchas Torah, Rav Yaakov Yosef of Skver would complete the Ohr HaChaim and begin studying it again from Bereishis. He then danced with the sefer Ohr HaChaim in his hand, the way chassidim dance with a Sefer Torah.

Whoever saw this, said Rav Neta, could begin to understand the deep connection that Skverer Chassidus has with the Ohr HaChaim.
