Belzer Rebbe's Great-Grandson Named Yehoshua at Bris

The Belzer Rebbe's great-grandson was named Yehoshua at his bris Monday, according to a report and photograph shared by journalist Moshe Weisberg.

The baby is the son of Rav Shalom Rokach, the Rebbe's eldest grandson, and a grandson of Rav Aharon Mordechai Rokach. Weisberg's report from the celebration said the name Yehoshua, son of Rav Shalom, echoes the Mahar"i of Belz, who was the son of the Mahar"sh.

The birth was reported last week as Rav Shalom's first son after six daughters. Monday's celebration marked the bris and naming of the Rebbe's great-grandson.

A photograph shared from the celebration shows a large gathering in the Belz beis medrash. Weisberg posted the report Monday morning.
