ר'יואלי ראטה ברענגט אריין אביסל "אמירה רכה"ביי אים אין ישיבה - COMPLETE VIDEO
Attorney and activist Mrs. Ruchie Freier takes time out her "azoy bizi" schedule and visits Rabbi Yoeli Roth's Yeshivah. The haters and those looking for controversy and/or reasons to hate seem to have found one. Vos heist! a woman speaking to bochurim?! What will they do next, have co-ed classes? Then those girls will put on tefillin, of course. You can tell from the body language, the twisting of the beard, that both Rabbi Roth and his colleague are a bit uncomfortable, but heck, so would I! But the lads sure seem to have enjoyed their minute with the lady!

מונקאטשער רבי און זיין הויף
I take no responsibility for the content of this article. It wasn't written by someone who would write for Der Yid or Der Blatt today... But what I can tell you is, if you do read this read the last page where they discuss the Munkatcher Rov's son-in-law and successor, the late Reb Burechel Rabinovitch of Munkatch. Those of you know the history may not be surprised about what you read, but for the novices among you it may come as an eye-opener.

Lang lebe der Kaiser!
My good buddy the scholar Josh Harrison בעמ"ס Chakirah Blog mentioned to me today that he wanted a good picture of the late great Kaiser Franz Josef II יר"ה, ז"ל. He wants to be a "good Austro-Hungarian patriot," he says. The Kaiser was a great friend of the Jews, and not for nothing did the number of Jews under his rule grow from 700,00 to 1.225 Million. They simply wanted to live under his protection. How right he is! Where else do we hear people telling jokes and anecdotes a hundred years after a man passes on? You ever heard the one about the Polish king? me neither. But we all know the joke about the Kaiser hearing the news of his imminent arrival in town in the Mikveh. So I decided to join his new Kaiserphile movement. I printed out the picture you see above on my printer that's at the end of the cartridge and hung it up on my office wall. Not very glamorous, the office. I know. So there. I'm now a proud member.

Seems to me that the day is commemorated more so to make money for institutions that carry his name, than to honor his memory, connect to him, and follow in his ways. The dinners, the countless number of booths collecting money. But to each his own. I won't tell his adherents how to do it.

בחנוכת הבית של ישיבת חכמי לובלין בשנת תר"צ, כמדומני

It takes work and concentration, and maybe even an accounting degree, to keep track of all the Ruzhiner Rebbes before the war. Like to know that Reb Moshe'nyu, despite being a Boyaner Rebbe, was not a Boyaner Eynikel. He was a Husyatiner who married a Boyaner, and was Reb Menachem Nochum, son of Reb Yitzchok's son-in-law. In other words he was the Lemberger's nephew. Today, after Hitler ימ"ש was done, that job is - unfortunately - alot easier. RAYF was the third son of the holy Pachad Yitzchok of Boyan, grandson of the holy Ruzhiner. RAYF was a Karliner and Tchernobler eynikel as well, his mother being the daugter of Reb Yochentshe Rachmistrivker, and his grandmother, the wife of Reb Yitzchok, the daughter of Beis Aron. He was known as a great Ohev Yisroel and Baal Tzedokoh where no Jew was turned away empty-handed. A short biography of RAYF can be found in אלה אזכרה ח"ג pages 28-31.

דער "משכיל"שמואל חיים פפנהיים פון תולדות אהרן ווייזט אונז אז היינט איז אכשר דרא און אז אמאל האט מען יא געדרוקט בילדער פון ווייבער
Remember when we ran the story about the Di Tzeitung airbrushing Madame Clinton out of their situation room photo back in 2011? Remember what kind of hellstorm that created? And how they had to apologize to the Western world? I even called up publisher Reb Albert Friedman to apologize for all the heartache I caused him! It turns it may have all been for naught, and that Mr. Friedman really didn't have to airbrush Mrs. Clinton in the first place. But it took a so-called "Maskil" like Pappenheim to bring this to light. Pappenheim was up until a few short years ago a major player in the קנאי camp, but it seems like all those interviews and meetings with the more modern and even irreligious elements in Israel took its toll. Today he's not so sure whether the ways of תולדות אהרן וכדומה are just and sane. But what do you expect from a man for whom the blood of German Jews flows? Toldos is but two generations in his family, German Orthodoxy has much stronger roots.

RYSE, RYSE and the אמאליגע אמונת חכמים/צדיקים in די ליטא
This is the Lita that we knew and loved!
It didn't matter who you were, it was each man for himself. Every person REALLY could grow up to be the Gadol haDor and a bigger gadol than all those before him! I just wonder what happened letztens that they deviated fro their old ways and took on the Chassidic approach of Daas Torah, etc.

ניגון "הבעש"ט" - תרע"ב-תרע"ד
הרב נחום קרלינסקי מחסידי ברסלב מצא בארכיון בקייב, דיסק שמע של 75 הקלטות של ניגונים חסידים משנת 1912 ועד 1914 למניינם. מדובר בניגונים שהוקלטו בשטעטל'ך בפודליה, וואהלין וגליציה. בין הניגונים נשמע ר'משה בעלי-צערקובסקי, שר את הניגון "ר'שניאור זלמן'ס ניגון" - המוכר יותר כיום בשם "ניגון הבעל-שם-טוב"● רק ב'שטורעם': ההקלטה הנדירה

האדמו"ר ברוכי
The question is: can he - young ברוכי - lay claim to the throne, since his zeide's claim to the throne of Munkacs was only since he was married to the daughter of the Munkatcher. Once he married his second wife do the descendants of wife 2 still have some sort of claim? Or do they need to suffice with the Pshischa/Biala/Partziva dynasty? Maybe Dayan Rosenberg can answer that... But in any case it's nice to see a young ד"לי kid being educated about his ancestors, and not just about RAYHK etc. And it seems like he enjoys playing ball and washing dishes more than being a Rebbe, as any kid would. Nice pics and videos of Reb Burech'l here. May we hear good news about ברוך יהושע ירחמיאל ראבינאוויטש the second.

הרה"ח ר'משה קצנלנבויגן ע"ה
איש מסירות נפש, ר'משה קצנלנבויגן
Reb Moshe Katzenellenbogen o"h
Reb Moshe was son of the late מומע שרה, who helped hundreds of families of Chassidim leave the USSR in 1946, including the Rebbe's mother, Rebbetzin Chana Schneerson. He was arrested together with his mother and sent to Siberia. Reb Moshe was a proficient talmid chochom and was especially boki in ד'חלקי שו"ע. After he was allowed to leave the USSR in the 1970s he settled in London, where his brother יבלחט"א Reb Yehoshua lives. Upon traveling to New York to spend Yom Tov with the Rebbe, he was asked by the Rebbe to visit Reb Moshe Feinstein and רעד אין לערנען with Reb Moshe, to show how yidden who were raised in the USSR and were imprisoned still managed to grow in Torah.

Reb Chaim Ozer's Mivtza Sefer Torah l'ilui nishmas the Chofetz Chaim, zt"l
You guys are always telling me how the Lubavitcher Rebbe always took things from others and made as if they were his own, original ideas. You cite examples and "proof" such as the entire "Shlichus" system, which he took from the Novardokers, which he got from R. Hodakov, the man from Riga who was educated by Reb Yoel Zaitchik. If only you'd know the half of it! Here's another thing that we took from the Litvakkes, Mivtza Ksivas Sefer Torah. Except the Rebbe didn't go as far with מבצע כתיבת ספר תורה as Reb Chaim Ozer did when he initiated the writing of the sefer Torah after the passing of the Chofetz Chaim. RCO calls it a Mitzvah, and tells us that by buying a letter we fulfill the mitzvah, which customarily has been done בשותפות, the Rebbe didn't say that having an אות was being מקיים a מצוה. Or at least that wasn't the idea behind writing the sifrei torah, which continue to this very day. It was simply a means to unite Jewish children by getting each one a letter in the ST. And whoever buys a letter will have his name recorded in a journal which will be placed on the CC's place! Another Chabad plagiarizing act, placing new Chabadseforim and pidyonos at the Rebbe's seat in the cheder haYechidus, just like they did with the Chofetz Chaim.
