Thus Karaites claimed they were Tatars and were not touched.Meshumodim in Hungary, Poland, Slovakia etc were all exterminated. In many cases even the RC church refused to defend last minute Meshumodim from the Germanns.<BR/>The Jews , Katz mentions converted after the war in gratitude to Goyim who saved their lives.<BR/>Many married their saviors others remianed close to them.<BR/>I am not judging such people , but for years now , many could have returned to Judaism. But layder besides Katz no one is interested in them. I wonder if either of the 2 chief rabbis in Vilna have embarked on a trip to bring even 1 of these losts souls home.<BR/>Actually this is a job for an older rabbi or Baalebos who himself survived the War or knows the turf first hand. Perhaps we could get someone like Reb Besser to go their now and get the list from Katz and talk to these people.<BR/>After the War rabbis like Rabbi Oschry did just that and recued hundreds of such Jews some from chashuve rabbinic families.Its another tragic chapter of Jewish hsitory.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-1150298383968297172006-06-14T11:19:00.000-04:002006-06-14T11:19:00.000-04:00He was walking down the street when two non bearde...<I>He was walking down the street when two non bearded litvishers walked by and one said to the other in yiddish, kok of dem modine mentch, to which he replied a yarmulkeh iz midrabonon, a bord iz midoyreysah.</I><BR/><BR/>That's an awesome story!

When I wrote that Hirshe Dovid is a heimishe Yid, I meant in the meaning of heimish (hay-mish) that means that he is a azay vi a Yid fun der alter heim in some ways, he speaks a geshmake Yiddish, knows Tayreh and Yiddishe zachen, etc.<BR/><BR/>I didn't mean the 'new' usage/definition of heimish (or high-mish) among some which (incorrectly) means that someone is Hungarian and/or Chassidish. If you are thinking along those lines, he is not 'heimish'. If you are thinking along the lines of the old definition of heimish, I think he can be called heimish, despite being modern in some ways.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-1150230787308320972006-06-13T16:33:00.000-04:002006-06-13T16:33:00.000-04:00Hirshe Dovid is a heimishe Yid, he grew up in BP.T...Hirshe Dovid is a heimishe Yid, he grew up in BP.<BR/><BR/>Two Hirshes should be able to get along, no ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-1150227380707579752006-06-13T15:36:00.000-04:002006-06-13T15:36:00.000-04:00I think i've met him.Is thsi the guy who does alot...I think i've met him.<BR/>Is thsi the guy who does alot of work in lithuania, poland etc...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-1150222893245770932006-06-13T14:21:00.000-04:002006-06-13T14:21:00.000-04:00Thanks Kurenitzerwhat causes intellectual "Bohemia...Thanks Kurenitzer<BR/><BR/>what causes intellectual "Bohemians" to look like hobos?Hirshel Tzig - הירשל ציגhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08911009966581004937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-1150222507002483902006-06-13T14:15:00.000-04:002006-06-13T14:15:00.000-04:00Mr. Katz did in fact attend the Yeshiva of Flatbus...Mr. Katz did in fact attend the Yeshiva of Flatbush and is "bahavent" in some of the "rabbonische Literatur" He is also a fine writer with a geshmak for Jewish things. <BR/>He never claimed to be a "haimishe Yid" Rather he is pert of the intellectual Bohemian crowd.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
