Memories of old Pupa

Hirshel:

I saw this yesterday in a Satmar shul. This is a book published by a Jew Ortner; (originally from Galicia) its in back of his sefer of sermons. He can quote from Reb Chatzkel Sarna to Rav Amiel, and everything in between. Looks like a cool jew who davened in meor hagolah Montreal by the Reb Shaye Yakov thé son of the Skulener, who gives a haskoma.  These 3 pages I send you say a whole lot. He and his brothers learned in Pupa. They were from Preshov, by the Galicia border. 280 boys learned there.  They had a list who goes to mikvah, and you didn't get hot soup if u did not go. Pupa Ruv gave שיריים then already, lit Chanukah licht like a real Rebbe, meaning very late, 2.5 hours after the z'man, with a few hundred boys looking on - more than he had in NY. Not before he went to an icy lake to toyvel beforehand. It seems that Ortner had no personal relationship with the Pupa Rebbe, Look at the schedule: 4:45am wakeup time. 5:30am by the גמרא already שוין נאך די מקוה. I don't see why they woke up the boys so early; The learning was not so great and important that they needed so many hours.  In Poland Jews were already almost all exterminated r"l, and in the Hungarian Yeshivos they served chicken and sometimes beef with shmaltz.   Not bad. The old Badansky bachi looked like a generous person, gave good food. Hungarian women may have been holy, but spoke no yiddish. But we knew that. All in all it seems like in the holy town of Pupa they emphasized chasidus more than Torah.

note: my father and grand father where from Hungary rarely and barely spoke Hungarian, so was my mother and grandmother from Hungary, never spoke to us Hungarian. In regards pupa ruv z"l, well he was my mohel..

Blima the bikur cholim does their work for over 50 years, with the highest regards from medical professionals all over, what changed? who is profiting from this scandal, are the trio of government-insurance-hospital behind this dead squads, acting as judges jurors and lynching, are the conservatives concerns for the unborn only, while letting hospitals for profit decide who is still profitable to keep him alive still?..

R Sender Ortner, a respected Balbos and Talmid Chocom, was a treasure trove of divrey Torah and stories of gedolim, Nitra Rov, Minchas Elozar and more. In his heyday he was a great speaker at Sheva Brochos and other occassions mixing a gut vort and wit. In addition to this Sefer his son Zvi put out the tshuvos of Rav Hillel Kolomayer.
