rather poor translation of אנשי כנסת הגדולה ("great synagogue"!?)

Hirshel Tzig - הירשל ציג said...

yea, there are others too. Luckily we don't need the translation...

Veltlikh'keit = Secularization?

Bkhol Zois , Zheyer Ba'Taamt

For a Yelid Vilna, he claims to have alot of insight into Chasides

Kidush Levana said...

Did he discuss chassidus with his Rebbe Muvhak the Chazon Ish?

I did the film/translation. "Great synagogue" isn't the most exact term, "great assembly" would be closer. But most English speakers who don't know religious Jewish history have no idea what the difference is and wouldn't know that the "great assembly" was THE great assembly, in fact they wouldn't know it was a religious institution at all. So "great synagogue" was the closest I could do within the confines of subtitles. I'm relying on people who know Hebrew but not Yiddish to be able to figure out what's being referred to. In a document I'd put a gloss at the bottom but that can't be done in subtitles. Thanks for sharing the film Mr. "Tzig"

Lemel said...

Imagine Hirshil Tzig becoming close to R, wolfson, racchmstrivka or R, B, Eisenberg would he know of chaim grada let alone sharing it with others .
only his convertion to lubavitch had him becoming exposed to seforim chitoinim
the maloochim are right

Hirshel Tzig - הירשל ציג said...

and how does the Tzaddik (and "Malach") Lemel know about Chaim Grade?

Shefele said...

Lemel
"R, B, Eisenberg" "R, wolfson"
Dont underestimate the knowledge of this people...

Sounds like a real amolige Litvish sheigetz.

מלאך גבריאל said...

Hirshel Tzig: "and how does the Tzaddik (and "Malach") Lemel know about Chaim Grade?"

א קשיא אויף א מלאך

And how did יוסף הצדיק know 70 Languages? if not from The "Malach")

חז"ל: בא מלאך גבריאל אל יוסף ולמדו ע' לשונות על בוריים

There is a letter from Chaim Grade to the Chazon Ish about the am-haratzim in vilna. It appears in a book of the Chazon Ish's letters. Is that online?
