Chasidic Initiative to Reduce Number of Sheva Brachos Celebrations Gains Momentum

 The general idea, that daily "שבע ברכות" celebrations for a week are not required and can/should be passed over, is not a Hasidic chiddush (innovation). Among Litvishe מבינים it was known for years. But at some point it became widespread among many to have them it seems. Perhaps due at least in part, to post WWII prosperity, reaction to losses, etc.

ב"ה now the issue is being reexamined.

Hoping for improvement,
