A reader writes: "I don't know if this interests you at all but maybe you want to write about the
Vizhnitzer Rebbe's vacationing in Llandudno (pronounced Chlandudno) and a bit of history of how
Frum Yidden ended up going there.
Llandudno has a lot going for it, The great Orme, a beach on each side and many attractions for families with children. It all started when the Jewish community started dwindling and the United Synagogue
Shul there had to ask Rabbi Jaffe for help with a
Minyan for the
Yomim Noroim. (Rabbi Jaffe's Father In-Law Sydney Beenstock had a house and boat there, that's the
Shaychus of the community to the Jaffes) So for quite a number of years The
Bochurim of
Yeshivas Lubavitch Manchester arranged a
Minyan there. Rabbi Avremi Kievman, Rabbi Jaffe's Son In-Law and a
Shliach in Liverpool used to come for
Yom Kippur. The
Rosh Hayeshiva (Rabbi
Akiva Cohen) went for a year or two for
Rosh Hashonoh. Anyway, the community was slowly slipping away, but Mr. Lee, the president wouldn't let go of the
Shul. So instead of selling it he gave it to the Jaffes to rent out the apartments above the Shul to
Yiddishe families for summer holidays etc. to keep the
Shul going and now they have a
minyan many times throughout the year where the Lees and another one or two Jews can join. There is also a "self-hating" Jew who has written anti religious articles in the Jewish Telegraph who lives near the
Shul but never attends. [
Hirshe]
Dovid Katz a professor at Vilna University stays nearby and used to join the
Minyan Yomim Noroim and enjoyed conversing with the
Bochurim in
Yiddish.
So anyway, once the Jaffes got hold of the building they called it "
Chabad Retreat Center" and many families from Manchester and London use it out and many more stay at hotels, B&Bs or rent houses nearby during the summer.
The
Horodenker Rebbe, Reb YA Weiss of Manchester bought himself a house and
Mikvah on the ocean and started going up there for breaks and
shlepping his own
Minyan along. I think he bought a second house for the extras. Then he bought a building for a mother and baby home like
Beis Brucha in London except he doesn't make you pay for it and its near the ocean so it became very popular and many
Ying Vaibelach from all over England spend time regaining their
Koiches there.
Enter
Yanky Adler,
Reb Yisroel Hager's biggest
Gvir. He also buys a house on the ocean for his
Rebbe's son to come and vacation there. RY has been going there for a month or two for quite a number of years now and
Yanky bought a second house and built a
Mikvah too. The big question was, now that RYH took over his father's throne would he still make time for Llandudno? Well, he's
feering Tish there tonight! (Friday night)
Yanky bought an old hotel with 40 bedrooms where RY is staying for
Shabbos. I think he's in Llandudno for 4-6 weeks. Last week (בלק) was a private
Shabbos. This week (פנחס) there are two
Sholom Zochors and
Brissen there. RY calls Llandudno "
Lecho Dodi"
because in Welsh it means "Queen of the Welsh resorts"."

Yes, i remember going there as a Bochur to help with the Minyan. Its interesting to see that Llandudno has now become a Mokoim Torah.
Is it run down like the convalescing mother's retreat in Sea Gate or in better shape like the place in Freehold, NJ?
Yanky Adler is from Manchester?
How far away is Llandudno from Manchester and London?
Article about The shul on the BBC website
http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/northwest/sites/faith/pages/mike_lee.shtml
From London it's 4 & a half hours by car. You can save a whole hour by taking the train.
From Manchester it's almost 2 hours by car but from there it takes longer by train.
Baal Agalah,
How popular is Llandudno?
What I mean is approx how many frim people go there?
Is it anything like Bourenmouth?
Do people stay there for weeks at a time?
Or is it a very small place with a couple of gevirim?
I"m from New York so I know very little about the other side of the pond
They shouldn't get too close to those Welsh waters.
R' Chaim Breisch, rosh yeshiva of the London mesivta and shvogger of R' A.J. Soloveitchik went to the seashore in Kent, England, for refuah purposes last month. He was overcome by a rogue wave and killed. One of his talmidim almost drowned himself trying to rescue him. He was first interrogated by British Bobby police who were suspicious of him before releasing him to be hospitalized.
Hirshel Tziggela, I am assuming you became Lubavitch later on because your interest in all things heimish is a distinctly non-Lubavitch trait.
What is the reason why maybe 99% of Lubavitch has no interest in the outside world? This is not unique to Lubavitch. The oylam from Chofetz Chaim yeshiva has the same insular meshugass.
Brisker
it's not as bad as 99%, but it stems from not being taught about other groups, I would assume.
"it's not as bad as 99%"
Off course it's not as bad as 99%, since more than 50% of Lubavitch are newcomers or bnei gevoreners.
Interesting addition to my list of gevoreners:R'Shlomo Drimmer.I was always suspicious, his gitzkait and breitkeit LKOL dovor shebidisha(not only lubavitch) is not something you getting by eating the "kasha" in Teimche Temimim.
Anyway today I see this ohttp://www.collive.com/show_news.rtx?id=20927&alias=new-torah-without-fanfaren
AND realize that R'Shlomo father isnot Lubavitch and his mother was from Spink.
Is Yankey Adler
The son of Akiva Moshe
The son of Yoir The Son Of Eliezer [Founder of Gateshead Community] The son of yehudah Yona The son-in-law of Akiva Moshe adler Z"L A chosid of R" Meir Mepremoshlan Z"L?
Must admit if he is then I guess he may a little bit of a cousin of mine.
I never knew he was so rich, he got a little yerusha? But that much?
Wiki seems to be saying that Lazer Adler's father was family name Haas. His mother's side was named Adler and he perhaps kept the Adler name because they were a chusheva mishpucha in Stanislav.
Lazer Adler's sister married Berzany whose mother was an Eiger.

"it's not as bad as 99%, but it stems from not being taught about other groups, I would assume."
I beg to differ.Curiosity is a very human trait and need.It comes naturally, unless it's suppressed.In Lubavitch curiosity , at least about other frimmeh groups is suppressed,lest people leave.Raichik on this blog told a story from his father how the Lubavitch boys in Shanghai, would not join the Mir at any cost, lest the younger boys become influenced and lose their Lubavitch connection.
Adler?
Yes, Yanky is the son of AM Adler.
I don't think he's so rich from the Yerusha though.
ok. I'm officially NOT Happy discussing a man's fortune and how he made it. This is NOT a Yenta blog.
"I beg to differ.Curiosity is a very human trait and need.It comes naturally, unless it's suppressed.In Lubavitch curiosity , at least about other frimmeh groups is suppressed,lest people leave"
there is no curiosity by any guy with a half a brain in the visnitz brothers massive kugel empires,99% of hiemishe chasidim are not intersted in them....
Lubavitch insularity shtamt fun gayvah vos zay mainen they are the only Yidden who get it right, that kaviyochol there's no such thing as Ailu v'Ailu. It's a superiority complex gone hayvire
In the Queens yeshiva it shtams from an inferiority complex. The learning is gore shvach because they just don't have the better kep. So you have these dumb kids fantasizing out loud that Lakewood is on a lower level in learning than them.
What's with those crazed Lubav trolls on the Crown Hts blogs always koching shtussim that Chabad bochurim in Shangchai "starved to death" because R' Aron Kotler ztl told the Mirrers not to give them food?
Lubavitch complains about Misnagdim while they have those raving lunatics spouting tinfoil conspiracies.
Zolt men zoggen in flug a hilarious kugel mayseh. Tzvan-"tzig" yor tzurik someone was stealing every erev Shabbos from the kugel prepared for the Stoliner Rebbe's tish.

Lighten up Tzig. The whole country wants to know how Mitt Romney made so many millions with his IRA and what the upmach is that so many big salaries for seemingly no show jobs are on the Artscroll payroll
Brisker, 'a rogue wave', my foot. R' Chaim Breisch was advised to keep out of a very rough sea but insisted he needed a tvila. He suffered from depression, had been slung out from Mesivta by his wife's family some years ago and never recovered. Why he chose to enter those violent waters is anyone's guess.
Chofetz Chaim Queens has become a cult. They are lucky they only want to be meshadech with each other's sisters because most people I know won't let their daughters go out with those bochurim anyway. Because they don't want to interact with the outside world, their yedios in kashrus are about 40 years outdated. People have issues eating in the homes of their yungerleit. It's ain zach when they don't filter their water but they eat lettuce with no checking and give their backing to the Queens Vaad which has the worst kashrus standards of any vaad in NYC. That's the way the YU rabbis in charge of the Queens Vaad like it so they don't get their modern crowd upset. To cover up to everyone else, they have a Chofetz Chaim rabbi as their "posek" who they keep in the dark about what really goes on and a yeshivishe maniac who lies to the Kew Gardens oylam that everything is "mehadrin" when it falls very short of OU standards.

Choked on Kugel just proved the point that plenty of Lubavs are crazy enough to believe such a preposterous thing, the false rumor invented by Lubavs full of sinah for the Gadol hador, rosh yeshiva of Kletzk & Lakewood and the Mirrer yeshiva which was zoyche to escape in its entirety due to their tremendous hasmodah
were they bigger masmidim than Kletzk, Slabodka, Telz?
They do say the Mirrer hasmodah was the greatest in Lita. The bombing raids in Shangchai yochiach when ettlicha kept learning & didn't even run to the shelters

You are a typical neo ben torah with no torah....
The Satmar Rov held the world of Rav Aron Kotler ztvkl. R' Yoelish had a hard time being maspid him at the levaya because he was crying like a baby over the loss to Klal Yisroel.
Although R' Aron & also Rav Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz ztl both almost never agreed with the Satmar Rov on anything, they all had tremendous respect for each other.
When the nutcase Weberman, talmid of the (ex-Chabad) Malach came to the Satmar Rov's house to badmouth R' Shraga Feivel, the Rov had a fit and threw Weberman out on his head.
Then as now, it seems some people with influence from Lubavitch have no respect for anyone but their own.
There was an adam gadol who said that about Mirrer hasmada. It doesn't mean that the kedoshim from other yeshivos were batlonim in any way. There is nothing wrong with saying that if the Mir was a little extra that they were zocheh to emerge as a whole entity.

Hedyot is right and it doesn't matter if they are from Chabad or Litvisher. Heller, Raitport & Belsky do not reach the ankles of R' Moishe, Rav Elyashev & the many others. One point of R' Dovid Feinstein's letter is that Belsky is misrepresenting that R' Moishe could have been mattir. At least Belsky knows he needs to hang his hat on an Adam Gadol to get away with it. Heller & Raitport are just pfeifing in the vind.
As far as your excuse about supposed Copepods fun amol, not all bodies of water contain them in levels where water was drawn. And only in cities now exercising loopholes in Federal filtering requirements is it a problem.
If that is the Raitport from the CHabad "metzuyonim" kollel in BP, I am going to spread the word about his heter for shrutzim because he is the new rav hamachshir of the hotel on 13th Ave.
I don't think Raitports Kolel is a Chabad kolel.
Raitport is a huge lamdan and talimid chochom and gevir, and he is not a partisan lubavitcher at all.His eydeemer are litvish.

R' Malkiel learned in Beis Hatalmud and then by R' Berel in Brisk. He can wipe the floor in learning with all of you big mouths put together.
You stupid idyot. You either know nothing about R' Malkiel in learning or are lying. I know what I am talking about because I sat in his shiurim, sat near him in beis medrash, and know his chavrusos.
There sure are plenty of mechutzofim out there. There were plenty of Chassidishe with no shaychus to Lubavitch who used the machlokes with Rav Schach to pile on him also with all kinds of bizyonos. It was none of their business and they didn't care anyway except to find an excuse to bash a Litvisher, even if he knew kol Hatorah kulah.
These agitator chassidishe once started a huge machlokes over Rav Schach among the customers in Samuel's restaurant by 16th Ave. It got so out of hand that the restaurant threw everyone out. This happened over the summer 22 years ago.
