Following the most recent terror stabbing attack in Yerushalayim, which claimed the lives of two Yidden, the Gerrer Rebbe issued a directive to his Chassidim not to go to the Kosel to daven until further notice.

The announcement was made at the main Gerrer Bais Medrash in Yerushalayim by Reb Yossel Schiff, a close confidant of the Rebbe.

The Gerrer Rebbe, who regularly visits the Kosel during Chol Hamoed, has not visited the Kosel this Sukkos.
