you know we were here about
approximately two and a half years ago i
want to thank my host for brandeis who
brought me here two and a half years ago
but we're here again because padam
khadash is because last year in february
unfortunately the cavern was desecrated
so we're here a year later this is
really uh it's been redone
and
when we were here last we set over the
story told me a story last time i
remember
that one of the outstanding qualities of
the manchester rashiva was his surah
everybody
even people didn't know him they look at
the picture i know somebody back in
queens he says every matsuya shabbos
after havdalah he has a picture of the
manchester roshiva smiling and that's
what that's how he begins the week
there's something special about his
surah so if i remember correctly there
was an individual who was at a flea
market and how do you say the flea
market here in england
the
car boot sale
and he bought a book
and this was a book about the manchester
shiva
and he read the book
a gentile
and he converted to judaism just
looking at the picture he was taken in
by the picture
and so moved from the story that it
changed his life so imagine somebody who
just saw his picture on a book it
changed his life imagine those who
actually knew him imagine those who
learned from him
now his father
yitzchak was a talmud outdoor in the
verdict and i had a smikha from the
arkhashohan
and ramoshitsak started yeshiva in
manchester and when he he was very ill
he passed away
so the manchester rosh shiva
would be
who at that point in time was uh
the
de facto russia shiva but had not give
been given the official appointment
there were some members on the board who
felt he was such at sadiq
he was so righteous
you know rashiva has other
responsibilities as well where she has
to fundraise has to make connections
with people
and there was deliberations when
robichuska labromski came here to this
country he encouraged at the appoint uh
the manchester russia shiva
but be resume
what happened was he was actually
offered a post by the panavic
to be on the leadership of the
panavicious shiva and he accepted it and
he was going to move to binebrach
and the president of the board of the
shiva became very ill
and he had a dream
and in the dream he felt that the
manchester unishiba's father was upset
that he did not do his part in
implementing and making sure that
became the rasha shiva
and he got out of his bed and he
convened a meeting and he said no we
have to
bring in the mansion now all this time
you should know
that what
bromski suggested you know what
make the manchester shiva like temporary
roshashiva
because
you could at any time bring in somebody
bigger and he would happily step down
you know because the entire time he did
not want to he did not want to get into
any macholicas with anybody on the board
he had no hard feelings that
sort of they didn't appoint him right
away but has made the president of the
board
appointed him
and
he recovered that week
and now the manchester united has a big
dilemma should he go to panama she had
accepted the position or she stayed in
manchester he sent the letter to rob
destler to ask
hazard said that he should stay in
manchester
um
manchester ushiva was a loving father to
his tamidim
you know of course every rash of shiva
is a great mabes torah what was unique
was he would ask each talmud their name
their hebrew name in the name of their
mother to be able to pray for them
and of course he's uh famous for
instituting the shmir salashan calendar
which
has spread over the whole world you know
when it started i think he hand wrote
the calendar and then they printed it
based on his uh writing but he really
spread the uh importance and the value
of uh learning sever khafiz khayim
and that's why his brothers were so uh
nazcabel and so powerful as somebody
who's careful with their words their
words carry tremendous weight so we hope
over here in this class of dabbing
all of our true love should be nice
