Beautiful strains of ‘Arba Bavos‘ and ‘Baruch Habah’ resounded this evening, through the giant municipal stadium in Nizhni Novgorod, which usually reverberates with vastly disparate sounds.

Tonight, the arena witnessed the wedding of Levi Schtroks of London, England, and Chaya Mushka Bergman, daughter of the Russian city’s head shluchim.

Rabbi Berel Lazar, Chief Rabbi of Russia, was mesader kiddushin, and the simcha was made complete by shluchim and family members who traveled from far and near to celebrate.
