Netanyahu Family Wedding Celebration

Netanyahu's Eldest Grandson, 17, Marries

Shmuel Roth, the son of Noa and Rabbi Daniel Roth, married at a small, invitation-only wedding in a neighborhood hall in Jerusalem's Mea Shearim.

Netanyahu's Eldest Grandson, Aged 17, Marries in Jerusalem's Mea Shearim

Shmuel Roth, the eldest grandson of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, married on Sunday evening, November 15, at a small, private wedding in Jerusalem's Mea Shearim neighborhood. He is aged 17 and one month.

The groom is the son of Netanyahu's daughter, Noa Roth, and her husband, Rabbi Daniel Roth. According to Israel Hayom, the wedding was held in a small neighborhood event hall in the Mea Shearim area, and entry was limited to invited guests.

The family celebration took place away from the spotlight, Srugim reported, in the midst of political drama and coalition negotiations over forming a government.

Roth was born in October 2009 and grew up in a strictly chareidi Hasidic home in Mea Shearim, far from his grandfather's political world. His parents follow the Breslov Hasidic movement, and their children were educated in Torah institutions in the city, including the Darkei Shmuel Talmud Torah.

Marriage at 17 is in keeping with the custom in the most conservative chareidi communities in Jerusalem and around Mea Shearim, where it is common to marry young as part of community life.

This is not the first time a family milestone has put Netanyahu's eldest grandson in the headlines. About four years ago, during Sukkot of the Hebrew year 5783, he surprised guests at his bar mitzvah celebration in Mea Shearim by completing a siyum on the entire Talmud, according to Srugim.
