Noam Elimelech 1942 edition censored

"Dear Tzig,

I recently came across an edition of the Noam Elimelech printed in New York in 1942 by Joshuah (Osias!) Wagschal. Interestingly it also contains letters of recommendation by the RAYATZ and Rav Herzog. Needless to say that later reprints of this specific edition ( I also have one from around 1980) have these letters deleted." - end of email.

The two letters both address him as הרה"צ, yet the emailer calls him Joshua (Osias!). Maybe that's what his stationery said? I'm kind of at a loss here. I should ask him, I know. Maybe he'll chime in in the comments. Is it the קארטשינער-פריסטיקער רבי? hard to tell. Let me see what we can learn from our readers.

"זכרון שמריהו"

Who remembers how Schneur used to rail about that fact that Lubavitch never named any institutions after the Frierdige Rebbe's oldest Eydem, The RaSHaG, Reb Shmaryahu Gurary, z"l? (It was mostly - or all - on Mentalblog,ע"ה, not here.) How about we rename this blog "Zichron Shmaryahu" for a day Lekoved the RaSHaG's 22nd yahrtzeit? There's not much that I can do, other than this. I don't have buildings or mosdos, and I'm not publishing a sefer at the moment. This blog is all I have. By the way; has anybody else noticed how the Meshichisten seem to have taken up that cause, for lack of a better term. These pics are from a rabid Meshichist site, and they commemorate him very often. Go figure.

אומר ועושה

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?

!ס'קומט א גרויסער טאג, רבותי

און ווי אלע גרויסע טעג קומט עס נאר מיט הכנה. "אם בגפו יבא בגפו יצא," זאגט דער צאנזער רב זי"ע, אז מ'קומט ווי א גאפ, גייט מען אוועק ווי א גאפ. א גאפ, אויף די פוילישע שפראך, הייסט א באק, א בהמה, בקיצור. חסידים האבן קיינמאל נישט האלט געהאט א שוטה, און פארפאטשקען אזא טאג ווי יו"ד שבט איז נישט מער נישט ווייניגער א שטות אוים ונורא. מ'קען שעפן קאדקעס מיט עמערס פון תורה, יראת שמים, התקשרות להצדיק און כל טוב בגשמיות אין אזא הייליקן טאג,

לדעתי איז דאס בעסטע פלאץ אויף פארוויילן אזא טאג סמוך לציון רבינו הק', און דארטן וועל איך אי"ה זיין במשך דעם גאנצן שבת

א גוטן שבת
