ויקנאו בו אחיו, פולין, תרצ"ד



The one one the left is not the point of the picture... Remember that the Rebbe was all of 54 years old here. Yiddishe Tzores do that to the Nossi HaDor. I remember seeing Chaim Lieberman's picture in the Pashkevill they published in 1989, 55 years later (!) He didn't change a bit. Hardly aged. If not for the white hair you'd think he was still that young. It must be alot easier staying a bochur...

Oh, did any of you see the Tolner Wikileaks?

You wanna discuss it?

Shall I upload it here?

but what about the Vorker and The Bobover and the Modzitzer and the Belzer, and on and on and on; do they not count?

and how many of the million Gerrer were Bundisten, and how many were "Oopgehiten?"

What's there to condemn? Nobody has said anything. It's just the usual one-line pusteh "snag" drivel.

Totally andersh from the lengthy intellectual-sounding hit-jobs you allowed into your home.

In Poland they had hardly heard of Lubavitch.Warsaw the capital had a handful of Lubavitchers.Once the Rayatz came Chabad made some inroads, specially because they had a good yeshiva and a rosh yeshiva like R'Yehuda eBBER, in the Litvishe shnit, with shiurim, room and board.Poland till then had almost only learning in the local shtibel or Chachmei Lublin which was almost impossible to get into unless you were an iluy or very smart+$$$(Zlotys)the regular smart bochur looking for a place was what Chabad latched on to

Yerucham said...

R'Chaim LIeberman:
His two volume Ohel Rachel is a classic in Jewish bibliography and Yiddish linguistics,was the Rayatzs' right hand man.Was one of the very few together with Rayatz,son-in-law,wife,grandchild to be saved by a half Jewish German Officer, through Berlin, in the early stages of the War.
Quoted as saying he knows who forged the Chersoner Genizah, the story that cost Lubavitch a lot of credence because of their insistence that this clear forgery is actually true.
Reb Chaim never married.A tragic life, never married, a scholar and gentleman

The Tolna wikileaks as they pertain to Belz is only a very small part of the file. Just post that part.

If I'm not mistaken, there's a whole mayse/shtikel? with "v'yikanu bo echav", maybe a line our Rebbe used once..

Tumeler Rebbe
"No one in Poland was jealous of him , he was the laughing stock of all The rebbes in Poland"
To get to Poland from Russia, on new grounds, and creating Yeshivahs that had talmidim over 2000 bucherim, is no ground for laugter, in my small minded brain. Most of the talmidim were Benai Aliya you can see it on the few that survived. Outside of Ger nobody laughed, they could not take a outsider coming to Poland their claimed territory for close to a century,with no bitul what so ever of the Gerer Machine, He wrote his letters against Aguda with no fear, they were not used to that Chutzpa.

That was a challenge! But I did succeed in downloading it.

No idea why you restricted download & Print.

Thanks a lot

Arthur said...

It's interesting to note that at the Rebbe's chasuna in Poland almost every Rebbe of note was there in addition to other luminaries such as Reb Menachem Ziemba HY"D.I know so not through the highly prejudicial nefarious Lubavitch propaganda machine but heard it from my father A"H who was there at the time as well as my paternal grandparents HY"D.So much for the RAYAT"Z being a non entity in Poilen.

Mottel said...

ויקנאו בו אחיו was indeed used by the Rebbe to describe the tekufa in Poland. The FR originally moved to Warsaw, but due to ailing health and redifus from certain kanoim in (iirc) Ger (Reportedly caused the closeness between R' Menachem Zemba and the FR ), he moved to Otwock.

amshinov BP said...

Arthur,

I do not know who was there, but I do know that R Yosel Amshinover and his kids ran out of the hall when they saw white gloves...I heard it from the Amshinover Rebbe BP Zal.

Anonymous said...

Artur

Its a bit of a Freudian slip that you mention the Rebbes wedding in Warsaw, in the same post that is debating to download Tolner Wikileakes.

I have downloaded it Very intense stuff It reflects the humane side of Rebbes daily routine. There the Pnei Menechem ztl is being quoted that Reb Menchaem Zemba Hyd ran out of the hall when the couple arrived. So Tvig you better know what you are posting!!

Hirshel Tzig - הירשל ציג said...

nor RMZ, the Radziner Rebbe, and that's not true, since we all know that the RR read the kesubah at the Chasunah

Besides, because of white gloves you run away from a chasunah??? I could understand if it was mixed, but gloves??? are you kidding me? they never went to a modern chasunah by one of their chassidishe gevirim, or were never mesader kidushin by a modern couple?

Please.

פיילישע פאנטאזיעס

Mottel said...

Who was it, the Amshonover or Reb Menachem Zembe? Considering the fact that the Pnei Menachem was born in 1926, I doubt he had any first hand memories of the chasuna.

amshinover bp said...

Hershel,

Talking about fantasias... Rayatz's zichroines are not fantasias???

Read "Yemos Oilem" from Amshinov- ou will understand why they ran away.
ANY modernkeit they had a problem with- even carpets :)

Besides the fact Amshinover was there himself.

Each to his own and harbe druchim l'mukoim. You are forgetting this a lot, Hershel.

Hirshel Tzig - הירשל ציג said...

my friend

we all know what Poland was like in those days. They may have been anti-carpet, but you don't "run away" from a chosson with a beard wearing a modern suit. I guarantee you lots of mekurovim to the Amshinover looked like that and worse. Just like the Radomsker had the Bessers and Koshickis.

Did they "run away" from all their Chassidim's wives too?

You are 100% correct, even he was the Rebbes son, his info on that event was fed by Rechiles that circled in Ger

I know that the Chabad enemies are wearing this statement on their lapels, but it is still very hard to believe, it was discussed on this site many times so I will will not chew it again. But a point or two,why on earth did the Guraries invest money on manuscript of a famous forger? Were all their investments so bad?Why did Bigeleisen (grandfather of moshe and shlome)a Seforim Maven print many letters from a famous forger? why did reb Sruel Chortkover give a haskoma for manuscript of a famous forger? If you read the letters of the Maryatz, you will reliaze that before every purchase in Lubavich,he was his maven on all libraries and manuscripts, how come he did not take the obvious advice? It smells from a lie it walks like a lie, I know that the Publisher and writers of Yeshurun Anti Chabad Rag (sorry for name calling a prestigous periodical but from the last few Gilyonois, it comes across that all the torah is just like the Newspaper wrapping around a shtikel farshtinkener fish)invested alot of borscht on this story, but I still choose not to believe them.

the Marashams did not have a gabai that knew for sure that it is forged and it was not public knowledge yet , the people that visited Chaim Lieberman claim that the seller was a famous forger.

Speaking of Amschinow, why would you be surprised with any behaviour, especially an excercise and a statement in kitzoniyus, from an offshoot and a noisei keileihem of Kock/Wurke ?
