Bensonhurst 1930 Kramer Family & Lubavitch

normal ahem I'm standing in front of 1866 8080 of street and Bensonhurst Brooklyn the house behind me I don't know if it's the original but the property is where the Freda could habitable Yosef Yitzchak was here on July 15th 1930 at the conclusion of his almost year-long trip to America that began in September of 29 this was the house of Hyams near Zalman known as hazak Cramer Hyman Kramer the son of my screamer of the known about family the Kramer's who supported the 3d cannabis activities and work in America from those years 20s and 30s and 40s and even later there is a video clip that um put out and this is the actual property where the clip is from from the inside of the house again if it's this original building I don't know but the property is 1866 80th Street and on that clip we see a little boy Mikkel Cramer known later to be Milton Cramer it was ten years old it was born 1920 I believe and this was 1930 and you see a little boy singing on that gem clip that's milky Cramer I had the good fortune of speaking with him in conjunction with one of my books the rather and Revlon reverse elevator can there ever and he wanted me to come to his shoe on Long Island and do a presentation so we were talking about it the Kramer's were fundamental in making Lubavitch chabad-lubavitch a reality in America not just from 1948 on but from earlier they laid the groundwork to make it possible for their ever and his people rabbis Jacobsen and Simpson and Luxan Rifkin and everyone else who was here to open a ago discuss see the Chabad office and to begin planting the seeds in nineteen twenty nine thirty four the rebus ultimate the Freda grabbers ultimate arrival in 1940 on that video you see different custody and it could be that even that you took Horowitz rabbika that my Smith was here as well at another time I know that he was in in in one of the Kramer's houses I'm not sure if it was this location this is Bensonhurst it's called Bensonhurst and it's near the water in those days it was before air conditioners so it's very hot in the summer so people were able to afford it had houses here this was considered the country to Manhattan so the Kramer's had a how a house I think I'm bath Avenue which is closer to the water but this isn't too far from the water as well I believe on the better hunter that their house I'm bathroom and you even had a shoe there whether there was a shul here I don't know because right a few blocks away I'm Bay Parkway rabbi kosnovski lavishly Marin kosnovski another one of the reason cadavers people here in America and there in the mid 20s who you could see also on the video were in 49 when the previous lab is is signing the papers to become a citizen an American citizen because enough she is there together with our dad but see he was very involved with the Kramer's as well and other cosmonauts he was a rabbi in a shoe they partly but that I believe was later because originally he was a rough in Rochester New York so I'm not sure if he was already the rough on Bay Parkway in 1929 1930 but regardless this this facility has a lot of holiness here that that ever came here and he began planting the seeds for the Babich now 90 years later is a very special thing something to to remember and to take away with to teach our children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren that not just in Crown Heights and not just in Brownsville but even a neighborhood like Bensonhurst had Labov atures and that epic came here and that ever made an impact here and it's an indelible impression that stands ninety years later
