GERRER REBBE IN NEW YORK
Thousands To Join Gerrer Rebbe In Boro Park For Shabbos
The Gerrer Rebbe Shlita, who is currently in the United States, accompanying his rebbetzin who is receiving medical care in a Manhattan hospital, will be spending Shabbos in Boro Park. This is the first time in years the Rebbe will be with his chassidim in Boro Park.
Since his arrival, the Rebbe stayed in Manhattan until Wednesday night, when he attended a Bar Mitzvah in Boro Park for about 45 minutes. The Rebbe then attended a Sheva Brachos in Williamsburg as well as a Chasunah of one of his Chassidim. He was at each event for just a few minutes, but hundreds of Gerrer Chassidim were at both locations.
On Thursday morning the decision was made that on Shabbos, the Rebbe would stay in the Boro Park neighborhood, with tefilos to be held in the Palace Hall attended by thousands of Gerrer Chassidim.
The rebbe will not conduct a Tish on Shabbos.

SHABBOS, SHABBOS, SHABBOS.
Israeli Superstar Omer Adam Turns Down Eurovision Gig Due to Shabbos
Omer Adam, currently the most popular recording artist in Israel, said that he turned down an offer to appear at the Eurovision this year since it would involve working on Shabbos.
Adam was invited by Israel’s Kan public broadcaster to perform the opening act of Eurovision 2019 – taking place in Tel Aviv on May 18 – but declined because the rehearsals would be on Shabbos, ahead of the finale on Saturday night.
A statement from Adam’s publicist to the Jerusalem Post said: “Omer Adam received an offer to appear in a performance at the 2019 Eurovision. After a meeting between the sides, because rehearsals for the finale would be held on Shabbat, Omer decided – despite the great honor – not to take part in the event. He thanks them from the bottom of his heart for approaching him.”
Adam, 25, was born in the United States but grew up in Israel. He is not religiously observant, but makes a point of not working on Shabbos.
Adam’s songs usually top the charts in Israel, while his concerts sell out in minutes. His biggest hit of last year, “Shnei Meshugaim,” (Two Crazy People) was the most viewed music video in the country last year with more than 48 million hits.
Israel won the right to host the 2019 Eurovision after singer Netta Barzilai won the competition in May.
