was the man
of
770 after the passing
of in
1989 he took over for his father-in the
when the became the re 1920 so his
son-in-law his older son-in-law rash
became
the the acting principal of
when he passed away in
1989 drasin became the manile PO but in
addition to that this yeasin had his
hands in every single thing in 770 and
laich of the Reb meaning from the the
Reb appointed him to so many different
leadership positions and
why I knew this person why because he
was a
balat he he was energetic and he got
things done and true he was a
Russian
very KH who was a contemporary of
his at hisim which I attended summed it
up best said they asked him to speak so
he says he had a Shear that night that
he has to he has to go to the shear
but he has just one thing to say that
the
Rasin he said was a student of everyone
knows was into a daving with great kav
daving for many hours and hisf and
subjugating especially from eating much
and all
that which inab today they call that
the the sixth generation the
Generation generation
is Outreach
Etc said that
alav was a talmid a
student a
tal ma a real I don't know if he Ed
those words Mai I don't recall if used
those words but the idea he
meant that uh he
received in the inner making of he lived
out what wanted in
his and
his everything else
nevertheless when the Reb became Reb and
he became the
Reb's he he went along with the Reb's
approach not that he did that he gave up
daving and his scfa but his emphasis was
ha so he became he was appointed by the
Reb to
head I believe in 1955
the laich Youth Organization which
consisted of sending
to to to speak
between it consisted of putting giving
out and
packages
and all the all the things that are a
norm today started then and who headed
it he was also in as I said the Mano in
770 he would come in to the base medish
the upstairs zal we call it the small
based medes this was when I was a yet in
Yesa like 1982 or 3 or
so
and I became a and so between the the
engagement and the which is like the
best of the best time y call Yer
I went over to him he was standing I
remember at the beima upstairs in 770
and he's standing there and I don't he
was marking attendance I don't recall
what he was doing and I
say I say in Yiddish he spoke Yiddish he
didn't really speak
English I think he understood English
but he didn't really speak it or speak
it much or definitely a very broken
English so I say
maybe maybe you could tell me what's the
recipe for a good
marriage so he looks at me he thinks and
he
says if your wife will make you some
food on it's and it's too
salty don't say
anything laughed he laughed with a
twinkle in his eye and that was
it the best marriage advice he could
have given he
gave why put yourself aside to your wife
she made you food be so thankful it
doesn't taste so good it's too
salty excuse me shut your mouth be quiet
and understand thank her you for making
it you didn't make
it that was in line with his whole aafia
and all that you know don't don't don't
put an emphasis on the food it sounds
like a little silly little story in that
personal thing that you know but it
tells you a lot about the
person I recall he was also in charge of
what was called tal or as he would say
it some Russians can't say the they
say means to go to walk from the
word to go to to go where to walk to shs
and give over which does during the the
three and other times and the would
speak about it when the next day the and
ask everyone
who the really really supported
the and started I think during even
during the freedus times I think 1945 or
so I'm not anyway it started either in
the 40 or
50s and ABD was in charge of
it and when he would speak about tal and
he he would once a year night that was
the only time remember him and it was a
to be seen he took
mashka and he would start talking about
he would like he' be sarcastic his
sarcasm about eating and drinking and
pizza and soda and and
many of the people who already balab
that children they would come to that fa
because they remember the fa from their
youth when they
were that it brought it made them laugh
and they felt good
so was a fa that was to the once year
with and he would talk about T and he
would say like what is your whole a
worth if you don't go on Tal
so what said about him was was exactly
true you
know how can you compare just walking to
sitting and learning and daving and and
and being misb and meditating on
on getting your feet to move because the
wants you to go share see this in other
shs for other yeen is more important
than your own daving and learning
finally this ye was
about he didn't have it easy in his
physical material
life and regardless you never heard from
him a
complaint you never
never one last thing I remind myself I
worked for the Yeshiva years ago for for
770 and R David was the one who had to
sign off he had to sign up contract you
know the dev wanted a contract between
an employer and employee including in
the Yesa
system so he was summoned by
rowski to come to his office with me and
we'll sign the
contract the pen was in his hand like
this and he wouldn't put it down and
sign andasi says
we have to sign it and he just look and
think and he wouldn't
sign finally after a long time he signed
it he didn't explain but I think
communism and the Russian mentality of
putting pen to paper and and committing
to something and the fear of that was
still ingrained in his
DNA but it was a scene to be seeing you
know here I am everyone's agree agreed
that I should work for them they need me
they want me I want to work for them to
help the
Yesa okay we have an agreement we we we
spoke about it
orally sign
it he holding the pen looking and
thinking so this was a very interesting
a who was
called his
just passed away would tell over the the
story that he he learned in bet and and
was a there in the 1950s as well
as and that once they took a ride from
bford and Dean which is in bford Stenson
to konits where kar's parents lived and
he was a boy probably 11 12 13 a young
boy and he uh they went together so he
so asks him where you going she says I'm
going home so he tells the taxi driver
to pull up at 770 and he and he says
here is your home get off and he says to
this what do you mean this is not my
house I live I live wherever I
live you have to know that your home is
770 doid was scash full-fledged es
kashus just like his brother the blel
asking was es kashus I spoke about that

connected connection to Reb Reb
