Lviv, Ukraine - Rabbi Yissachar Dov Rokeach the Grand Rebbe of Belz with more than 1,000 of his Chasidim came this week Tuesday for pilgrimage to the tombs of Tazdikim in Belz town, whom they honor as miracle workers.
The pilgrimage is held every two years.
Belz is a small city in the Lviv region of Western Ukraine, near the border with Poland. It became a center of Hasidism in Galicia.
Belzer Hasidism originated in 1817, when Rabbi Shalom Rokeach was inducted as rabbi of Belz and the town became home to a Hasidic dynasty of Rokeach.
