Simchas Torah In Skver

Rav Neta Freund once told how every year on Simchas Torah, Rav Yaakov Yosef of Skver would complete the Ohr HaChaim and then begin studying it anew from Bereishis. He then danced with the sefer Ohr HaChaim in hand like we dance with a Sefer Torah.

Whoever witnessed this event can begin to understand the profound connection that Skverer Chassidus has with the Ohr HaChaim.
