Yesterday, in the city of Bnei Brak, a couple married for 46 years had their first child, a baby boy.
Reb Shmuel Shachar, 67, and his wife, Mrs. Chaya Sarah Shachar, 65, welcomed their child with boundless joy.
Sources close to the couple tell of the great joy they are feeling after so many years of waiting for the blessing of progeny.
Sanzer Chassidim relate that many years ago, the couple received a bracha from the Sanz-Klausenberger Rebbe zt”l, who promised that they would merit a child.
At the same time, Nadvorna Chassidim relate that Rav Shachar received a brachah from the Nadvorna Rebbe zt”l, the Abir Yaakov.
The Shachars have been flooded with wishes of mazel tov from Jews across the city of Bnei Brak and beyond.
