The Gerer Rebbe, accompanied by his wife and three sons, his brother Rabbi Alter and his son-in-law, Deputy Itche Meir Lewin, the President of the Polish Agudath Israel, arrived this afternoon at Haifa. Hassidim from all parts of Palestine met him at the Palestine-Syrian frontier with six cars to accommodate the Rabbi and his entourage.
The Rabbi is spending the Sabbath in Haifa and is expected to arrive in Jerusalem on Sunday.
