Hirshel, I heard that by the Shinever Zt"l the women used to come in by the hakofas, I heard from a mekor musmach that the Sakmer Rov in his early years on Clymer st , had some women pushing themselves in to the shul on Simchas Torah, and he wanted to stop it until he verified what one of the women claimed that beim heiligen Shinever they also came in the shul, and he kept quiet. but years later in the official shul it was Yerag Veal Yavoir
An old man told me that he is from Ratzfert and he remembers Reb Shulem Eliezer's Hakofos (he was a younger brother of the Shinover and a son of the Divrey Chaim of Sanz)
That the rebetzin and her daughters and many women stood in 'middle' of the shul during the hakofos.
She was herself a daughter of the Hornosteipeler Rebbe (Twersky). Apparently this was the minhag on of all Europe. But today we have a separation even in all chasidishe frum cemeteries.
It is no doubt that we in the Chareidi world are becoming more and more 'outwardly' frum.
But in my opinion: I would never compare the yiras shomayim of the amolige stam yidden to those of our contemporary times with all the newly fangled frumkeit daily additions.
Reb Pinches passed away 6 years before the Tanya appeared in print or was even written (the first version of Tanya was written in 5652). Reb Pinches passed away in the year 5651 and the T, was published 5657. So, what is the guy before talking about?
About woman in Simchas Torah, I recall that some guy Rapport wrote in Ohr Yisroel about woman at Hakofos at Reb Chaim Meir of Viznitz. (IRC, R' Motele of Monsey didnt like it that much)
YOSEF 718. My guess is that you would want the women in Shul by Hakofos. I wonder where you daven and how tznius the women are. Do they dress like the Shinever Rebitzin or like lehavdil ...................?
"it is indeed a miracle that some reached the pinnacle

Anon Putting on tefilin is a question of mitzvas Hociach Tochiach as Amisecho, its a matter if you consider the guy with the afro Amisecho, with no particular refrence to chassidus. Why are you Chabad bashers hung up on a simple Mitzvas Eseh?
Anon, Sitting and hearing this Shabos from my Shviger that short dresses and short sleeves was more routine in alot of Hungarian households then today, and the Rabonim were constantly on the guard with the shtroif reid,You will always find some picturs of total covered grandma, but it wasn"t the masses in prewar Hungary.
Anon 6:34, Besides the fact that even in most chabad houses the ladies have the sense to dress with a modicum of tznius, it's only during hakafos that the mechitza is down. I don't think ANYONE keeps it down for mussaf.

I would hazard to guess that if one of the gedolim of more than 80 years ago were to come to BP or Willy today and see what passes for frumkeit in terms of Hashkafah re: dress, work, society, etc.,they would think that Judaism had morphed into a different religion. Many European survivors have told me this.
Yes the Ratzferter Yid is an ish emes and this is not the person, or only example.
But the fact that she was in 'middle' was pointed out to me that she was a 'real' רעבעצין מיט אוירינגליך [sorry no translation available]
That was the point of the old man's story that she stood there and nobody dared to said 'boo'.
As for the cemeteries; no there is no such separation only in the U.S. it is a new thing completely. Chasidim live in Israel too, and over there one can be buried next to a wife.
Its ironic that alot of rebeim have the rebetzin buried in the same ohel,but the chasidim are holier and even holier, maybe only the ones that were eating the food cooked by the rebetzin VS. Square etc..

"Misnagdem never sang in der Lita"
ReplyDeleteShoyteh
The point was the Chabad songs of yearning (hishtoykekus) and that's why it said 'not learning'. DUH?
Its ironic that alot of rebeim have the rebetzin buried in the same ohel,but the chasidim are holier and even holier, maybe only the ones that were eating the food cooked by the rebetzin VS. Square etc..

Got any?
is that a question for me?
ReplyDelete"Misnagdem never sang in der Lita"

My!!!!No need to get so touchy.So I didn't understand your poetic prowess.. Nu,whats the avleh?The truth of the matter is they never did sing in the Liteh
"The truth of the matter is they never did sing in the Liteh"
ReplyDeleteWrong
They sang at levayes, at mussor seder and Magidim where fairly common.
They also sang 'aley tziyon'
ReplyDeleteThat day is approaching
ReplyDelete"They sang at levayes, at mussor seder and Magidim where fairly common."
ReplyDeleteThats not singing.Those are called "dirges".We call it "kluging"(I think).
Nope
ReplyDeleteI guess you never heard it. It is emesidke yiddishe nigunim. But you wouldn't know
very curious about Ratzfert references, my Zeide was Rov there,groyse Belzer chusid (k'yo'duah RSBR spent WWI years there), Zeide got into some kind of reiberei w RSLH, the 2 never spoke afterwords.
ReplyDeleteI hope to be in Ratzfert next week, BTW. Any historical details greatly welcomed
Dirges are songs too.
ReplyDelete(cf. Arachin 12b) but I'm just an mo ignoramus so my svara must be flawed.
thank you witch sefer is this from?
ReplyDeletekeep it up post only such things
ReplyDeleteYosef/ Yoine?
ReplyDeleteThe rov was Rosemberg made a sefer Chemdas Shoul tesuvas,
I believe Reb Aron the satmar rebbe would probably know some details ask his close people, his father lived there and passed along all his info to him
Ratzferter Rav's name I think was Reb Shulem Vider. He was a Belzer.
ReplyDeleteRSLH was known to be a גברי קפדנא
but why should we talk here...
there used to be on a site on AOL by a person who posted dozens of pics from prewar Ratzfert. but I cant find it now.
BTW the entire town is clearly visable on google earth in great detail.
