He went through several stages of recovery. All of this in my opinion speaks well of him. Apparently after the war he took a leave of absence. Next he no longer wished to assume the mantle of leadership and the Anash in London wished to appoint the Vaitzner rav as new Bobover rebbe , but his followers won the day. By 1947 he was a full rebbe maybe earlier.<BR/>But as a Bobover told me he always wore a regular shirt not a right on left ( which with a collar is an American invention) as a reminder of the bad days .<BR/>I just met a fine elderly Yid here in WH who went through the whole Concentration camps and after the War in the US joined Bobov on the Upper west Side. Although he left to become a regular Shul Yid , he speaks highly of the mentchiskayt of the rebbe and his son and MM Rav NaftulcheAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-26673404255509626812008-02-28T12:53:00.000-05:002008-02-28T12:53:00.000-05:00I have seen pictures of the Bobover REbbe while st...I have seen pictures of the Bobover REbbe while still in Europe, in rebbishe clothing.

This doesn't make him any less of a man, it's just who he was.<BR/><BR/>The Satmar rebbe, who was saved from the Nazi war machine by the Zionists he spent the rest of his life condemning his saviors.<BR/><BR/>The Belz rebbe gave an inspiring farewell speech to his Hungarian hosts thousands of them) assuring them he wasn't running from anything and that they would suffer nothing more than terror. He escaped to Palestine while the people he misled died (in terror).<BR/><BR/>My point is simple. These were human beings. They made mistakes (or worse, but let's give them the benefit of some doubt).<BR/><BR/>The problem with our society today stems from the need to deify human beings.<BR/><BR/>We are the Jewish people.
