Rabbi Boruch Sholom Kahan of New Haven, 26 Cheshvan, Pure Chasidishkeit, Typist of Sichos- RC Dalfin

It's a tribute to Scholam Khan benhud I believe Khan known as Khan the brother of Khan who was the father of Khan. So Shalom who passed away Shabas was a cousin to Rabiel Khan. I knew Shalom. I knew him through my father and I knew him through myself. [snorts] My father always told me about him growing up. They [clears throat] they dormed together in the same room in the Paris in Lud before the yeshiva moved to Kabad. They were in Lud for many years. And in the first room when you came in, my father says there was zilum and my father lang. My father is several years, three years younger than Scholom. Raom was 91 and he was born in Karakov came to in the late in the late 30s. So and he grew up in the Kabader in Tel Aviv. They lived Yafa Tel Aviv where they join each other. They come together around there and I heard quite a bit from him about the the yeshiva which was called number 16. I've been there and video it's online. You could see it and should see it because it's it's a piece of history in the makings. Happens to be my daughter was a schlook in Tel Aviv for English speakers with her husband. Um they uh made a international gan uh kindergarten there and it's growing so it's in the same facility for now. Anyway, what's there are certain jet that have a muscid a big someone who someone with great shayim a great husb But uh from what I knew of him and what I heard about him, that wasn't his specialty. Those are all encapsulated in dream you cut their arm blood won't come out but will come out the cons the whole family they were we say in mention they were completely dedicated confidants of the raim but in a very simple way in other words for example the rebab when he came to Moscow he would stay At times we're in Boram Khan, the zeda of this boron that passed away. His name was Bor Sholom Khan Boram Khan in Moscow. Why did he stay there? Because he felt an affinity to him and the and felt an affinity to him. It it wasn't like, you know, oh, he learns well, he does well. It's it's not about that. It's about it's in the bloodstream. This is Kabad. This is Reb. This is Albba. So this is Shalom who lived in New Haven since 1960. He was a he had a store of Kadusha for a while. He did the of there's plenty of to talk about the way this gave himself over to the an example. My father tells me that when my father was sleeping in going to sleep or sleeping in his bed, he can hear him typing. What was he typing? He was typing the I'm talking about 1955, 54, 55, 56, those years. I think he came to the in 57. In those years, there weren't copy machines. So, how did you have a a sika? If you you had these thin very thin paper and it and when you type you were able to make several copies with one with while you're typing because it went through it went through cuz the paper was very thin and taka the each the first copy was strongest you could read it better second one was less third was even less and as it faded away because the the type letters didn't go through all the way of course with a copy machine that ended. But that's what he was doing. He came here I believe I read that when there was a contract and uh the from London Sudak maybe a third where you know typed typed this not typed you know wrote the that he remembered from the and had a typewriter and they made a shas a partnership and I think I think that Khan was the typest or the main one of the typists. The point being you know typing is not learning aus and not learning aid in in or whatever typing takes time. But he had a the Reb came out in the 1970s told me it's been written up how he went to the Yale University with someone else professor someone else who I think a few other people but he took the charge at Lake Filen and there's a a famous writer Rosen Bloom who de liter out of who started because of Bokom Khan saw him and put on twin with him back in 75 or whatever something like that and today he's you know a big writer in the literature world got him at at Yale it's a whole story with the details not going into the details now so here is a yeed aid from Russia who comes from real on his mother's side. She was a tumar famous family to Maricans. So you would think you know as the years go on you get uh stale and you take it easy but displayed the guy till the end. The last probably 5 10 years he would send me usually Thursday nights stories. He he wrote up stories and he sent them out and he sent them to me. I want to say something else. I once wrote a book called brotherly love because barak shalom sent me letters between his father and his brother and I read these letters it was incredible today it's printed in Hebrew in the leari that the family put out about vukan but I had the I got the letters from him he sent to me before and I put them out in English in a safer brotherly love and I re it's when it's out of print and I reprinted him in one of my other books today if anyone's interested but in these letters you mamas see how two brothers love each other in the hardest of times when there's nothing to eat when the KGB is chasing you and and you see the heration the feeling what concerned f and label Khan it's it's a lesson and hence I call the book brotherly of soalam is the one who gave me these letters and he sent me old pictures. So I I'm part of thankful to him for giving giving the world the opportunity to see you know pure not everything is good something very special that um that was we were able to publish Listen, another thing that he told me about and I also videoed it. It's on YouTube, my YouTube channel. He saw him. I think he was called in once for a minion had a stroke last several years of his life and he died from that home and for the I think he needed a minion. So, was called called in. He wasn't they didn't live far away. This is in in the border of Tel Aviv. As I told you before was and the great and we made also a video recently when we were there at his caver with someone put a bottle of mashk on it. Anyway, he was a very very prominent significant. They would call him a you knowb but besides that he knew they say he knew every word in by heart. So because he passed away in 1952 came 1939 1940 whatever. So he was able to see him. I'm just saying that he he you know he told me things that you know all these he learned by them he saw them was in the old used to be the relative of the anyway of the family shim the family is the the one daughter is married to Dubov the prominent so that's the the family and to his wife so wives on the from here on and tak with with with strength and to spread the light of the kite and I hope if there's more documents and things that the family will release him and will be
