(The Minchas Elozor in 1930)
(The Kabbolas Ponim for the ME's Son-In-Law - Reb Boorekhel - as he arrived to get married. He would later become Rov in Munkacs, and after the war drop the Rabbonus & Rebbistive. His son is Reb Moshe Leib, the current Munkacser Rov.)
(Reb Boorekhel's Reception)
(The aron of the ME is carried through the Munkacser Geselach.)
(More of the same)
(The Chakal Yitzchok of Spinka, Harav Yitzchok Eizik Weisz, Hy"d in Munkacs, presumably at the Levaya of the ME. On his right with long Peyos looking away is his son Harav Naftoli Tzvi of Bilka, Hy"d, who we showed here Al Pischo shel Gehenom Auschwitz).
(The Rebbetzin and her daughter at the Levaya, presumably.)
(The huge crowds that filled the Munkacser geselach to pay their last respect to their Rov.)
(The whole town seemed to be there)
(Kabbolas Ponim or - lehavdil - Levayah?)
He didn't 'drop it all'-that is motzi shem ra. He stopped adhering to Hangarian fanatacism. He was still a yrei shomayim and shomer mitzvos.

ReplyDeletemy intention was not to imply that he dropped Torah & Mitzvos, but, rather, that he dropped the Rabbanus and Rebbistive.
Halt Shabbos, vet git zaan
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are old pictures, all of which have been printed or publicised by Munkacser Chassidim. And BTW, you mixed pictures of the Levaya with pictures of the Chasuna of the ME's daughter in 1933.
ReplyDeleteThe last 2 photos are from the Wedding reception of "R' Boorechel".
ReplyDeleteYou can clearly see the ME in the last one. So this was not the "Last Goodbye"
kindly clarify which Machlokes is more Outdated (or irrlevent to feed it for todays youth)
ReplyDeleteThe Gra Vresus The Basht?
or
The Munkatsh Versus Kook?
the Zionist Versus Jews
Re: the last photo.
ReplyDeletePlease get it straight. It is clearly a picture of the Kabolas Ponim for the choson, R' Boorechel.
If you have seen the widly ciculated video of that event you will recognize the occupants of the carriage including the ME himself.
Even the "ferd" are the same!
So why the sensation?
I've seen the book "Rosh Simchosi," but I don't recall seeing that particular picture.
ReplyDeletethese pictures make the 30's seem so real keep up with these photos the video of warsaw in color sent shivers down my back

Never realized that these "shettleich" were actual cities. Please post some Lubavitch pictures circa 1940-60's
ReplyDeletethank u
Munckatch was a city. Lubavitch was takeh a derfl — such a hick-town that it didn't even rate a railway station. As everyone knows, to go anywhere one had to take a carriage to the station Rudnye. There's a map in Lubavitch Vechayoleho, in which one can see that the whole Lubavitch was basically two streets.
