Pesach 1970s Boro Park

I got to meet everybody Shalom Aleichem I hope you had wonderful Sadat him wherever you are today I'd like to reminisce a little bit about the way it was in Borough Park when I was growing up here in the 1970s in general during that time it was a very exciting time both politically historically and spiritually politically it was yet the Vietnam era then we had the oil embargo and we had of course the outbreak of the Yom Kippur War this was all at the first several years of 1970s and then we here in Borough Park with a small group of the babbage's diverting a rubber Simpson Abellio Simpson shul Oliver showed every yo Simpson was of course that the phrase there at the Talmud of the Frieda cadaver of the rabid ashab Frieda could have been there ever during Colin boy pays off I remember one column Oy there was a hero there was instructions from the hodduk of their Eva's name that we should learn every day several hours before we go out a howl of my trips and my friends the two winner brothers bar of heaven he took Simpson Shimon Aaron Rosenfeld we were kind of you know a group and we came through B Simpson fuel for shoppers and then we continued learning we also played a game called oom Sagrada homes a growth means odd and even we had little hazelnuts in our hands and you and everyone had to guess how many whether the the you have an odd amount or an even amount and we played this game and you either gained or lost more of these hazelnuts and it was just a fun thing that we did we did that I think I Yoav as well later in the afternoon we went either with our families or friends on the column oeid excursions I recall one column oide where it was the opening day a baseball game for the New York Mets and I was excited I told my friend pearl heft that we have tickets I got tickets box seats the best seats in the house and we went barf and I went ourselves on the on the number seven train I remember to flush into Shea Stadium and indeed we got box seats all the way out in right field and brought off until Thursday won't let me hear down he won't let me hear about he won't let he won't he'll still remind me of the great box seats that I got for us but the point is that that was a type of friendship that we had and the fun that we had but it all came if learning for a few hours in the morning and who could forget via shall pays off they when the the seat Labov HFC them walked in from Crown Heights and they all kinda gave it before they began before they went to their shoulders to say over Dibley considers at this father's a shul outside and also there was a talk that rabbi al Berg over felon gave at the Agora which was across the street on 14th Avenue and there was always a notice of a recognizable amount of abhava chip sedum who came to listen to rev al burger the elder it was very close that of Zalman Girardi and they did a lot of work together and it was very important that we come I recall one one that I said that he gave he spoke about the importance of wearing a beard and he at the time had a commerce Bentall like a goats beard you know I remember standing there as a probably 15 16 year old the buffer saying why are you talking about having a beard then how he looked Europe was the beard was a symbol of a from heat and a/c the fieid when you don't have a full beard and again I could be that's the way his beard grew I don't know but regardless we all came and there sure was a report given to the river that we attended so we who lived in Borough Park and we joined us well I recall vividly how people would stroll she shall pay staff an authorship a Stephanie afternoon on the 14th Avenue and it was like I know if it was officially closed down probably it wasn't but there were very few cars and you could still hear in the streets Hungarian this was a very large Hungarian community survivors and others and in my days in the 70s you could hear Hungarian in the streets and people would stroll with carriages you're allowed to carry this was before there was any area of controversy or out of the area at all I just recall that it was a beautiful seeing people walking and the weather was beautiful it was spring and of course the highlight for us lapavitsas was walking to the never official place F for the vibranium which lasted many many hours like six six hours five to six hours the vibranium started that skier usually about 8:00 to 8:30 or so and didn't end till till like 1:00 2:00 in the morning followed by closure brother for several hours so the point being that growing up here in Borough Park although the the hub of the Babbage accident is Crown Heights always was always is always will be nevertheless our small yet tight group were together at bear Olivia over felon but see and shine burger all of a sudden and we will submit all of a xiaolin pickle of me Oliver Sholem the Kaplowitz Oliver Sholem and the list goes on and on and on were all in at this little shul with Rabbi Simpson as our love may Hashem help that in the merit of Pesach we really had to say that we had the matzo meal then and the medusa methyl des Vasa for the faithful of healing a mister has a really take removed that McClure and now we're going forward towards the last two days the days of many in optional but I mean other jumping into the serious jobs of the revelation of the yam to becoming the water becoming dryland meaning that everything that is secret and closed and unknown becomes apparent and we see the benefit in it and then we ultimately have the the official page that has the never once said by a vibranium that ever said this is the the the the done that you like this tried done done is my assets with Allah Marcus he collected all the lost objects that the other tribes lost as they were traveling who picked up everything and echo had a lost of found it was a tribe of done mother ever said that official Pesach is the day when we pick up all the things that we lost or didn't do throughout the year and even pace off and an official pace off which is known as machines day Simon she of Ceuta and on in the half theta all about Messiah this is the day when we celebrate and live with me chefs arrival and all the features of mushiya may be so very speedily in our day this year so that before official page that will be rush a lion with Bashir said que no a man
