Thousands gather in Lakewood to hear from Jewish spiritual leader
An estimated 5,000 Orthodox Jews flocked to the former Little League park off Clifton Avenue this morning for the arrival of spiritual leader Rabbi Aharon Leib Shteinman, visiting from Bnei Brak, Tel Aviv, Israel.
Shteinman, who is on a brief world tour, arrived by car this morning to speak at the Bais Medrash Govoha Yeshiva in Lakewood, before he moved to the Little League field where thousands waited to hear his inspirational speech.
Shteinman was in Monsey, N.Y. Tuesday and has already visited Mexico and Panama on his recent world tour.
”He is our leader. Even our rabbis rely on him for guidance,’’ explained Judah Abramsky, 27, of Lakewood, who came to listen to the man described as the Grand or Great Rabbi of the Orthodox Jewish community.
This was the fourth visit by Shteinman in the past ten years, according to Abramsky.
Officials said about 5,000 people were in attendance at the Little League field.
