he is a cousin of talmid bavli that lives in skver and is listed as such in the phone book
is that a real name? maybe he gave them a false name so the owners wouldnt fire him.

excuse me "talmid bavli" is not a phone book, even you should know that much
This picture is very powerful and symbolic! There is no shame of being a cheredi man in full garb and working hard to make a decent living, actually there is pride in that! In no small measure the success in the renaissance of cheredi yiden which started here in America after WWII was because they where encouraged and helped in any way possible by none other than the late satmar rav! to do so and if possible to go into business by themselves! And hire cheredi yiden no job to small or big!
