9th generation descendant of Baal Shem Tov, Torah genius, Humble Baal Chesed - Rabbi Chaim Dalfin

foreign was born in 1935 and he was a week short of his 89th birthday who I knew from 770 was a very special need quiet unassuming it with a burning fire for potato siddisro and I'll just give a brief biography of his life to encapsulate who this individual was David was born in the Kiev region to emotion krasniansky who was an individual who was dedicated to Tata and he was asked it in square they talk about the Isaac krasnyansky the prime Isaac was a relative of Ramos who knew the square and ever yet in in in in in Ukraine and related I mean hug him of square to to the new Square world in America at a prime Isaac's name of Isaac asiansky is a very special name as kaver so the family came from Additionally the Malaysia was a very bright man and he had a pen name his nickname was sambatian and he wrote books under the name of moisha sambatian and the rebel told emotion years later that he remembers whatever she came to America and he he remembers reading his books yet in Russia and they were very very uh scholarly and uh well-written and he his books were received well in the greater Jewish community in Russia and Ukraine after escaping to some account s of account in the 1940s they've dealt together with his parents came to were there and Abdullah came that's where they met for the first time and David then was in together in the uh with the babbages and poking the DP camps in 4647 and from there he went to Paris they went to to France and to brynois he went into the Yeshiva and he became a town with a student of reminiscent nemanov and represent Castleman and of Joseph Goldberg and he considered Nissan his his teacher and Joseph Goldberg his teacher in Nigerian talmud he had a a genius like head he was gifted not only in in learning through shots several times and knowing it and not only being clear in all of theta one of the sons told me that he never remembered a Shabbos coming down in the morning after after getting up that his father wasn't sitting and learning the quote Potato by the table and he knew the entire liquid potato in France under admissions guidance he memorized was barbitur the entire safe Christian I believe but it wasn't just the teachers and his role models it was his own head and his own development but all in the most humble Beetle dick unassuming way he would never notice it I mean I saw this minute 770. you didn't hear a Beat from him he stood by his place he doesn't they called him up for master for schlichi for shishi the people who were in charge of the minion knew him from before and they knew what kind of special he was and they gave him the most honorable alias in the minion and but he he would barely say anything if I hadn't gone over to him and asked him something in Tanakh and he knew it cold right away with all the details you wouldn't you wouldn't you wouldn't know anything you wouldn't see anything anyway going back to his his childhood and teen Hood in in broom Bond the Yeshiva he really became a a young man who was gifted and Molly the goddess of Taylor we were talking that he remembered how the David would learn with his way and everyone knows rabbis x ray had a greenish a cup and a fantastic memory and it was a big bardas well guess what that David was the same way and maybe even more but because he became an engineer and he went into that field his name wasn't so popular and publicized amongst the 770 and then the communities you know any and he was very quiet the revised I'm not I'm not saying this to compare a bicycle is a genius in his own right I'm just saying you're talking here about very high quality of of learning and title scholarship if David had another tremendous facet that he had a heck of Chloe in other words he had this vast knowledge of all aspects of Titus so for example Jewish history into it backwards and forward they say that I've done this you know who came before who which Tanner which I made her when did he live where did he live he knew it all at his fingertips Tanakh I told you before it was Kabbalah you know hakira he learned it one of the sons told me that that at the Shoppers table growing up it was all discussions about what they were learning in the Yeshiva they weren't discussing the stocks they weren't discussing the latest politics it was all Taylor and again all with her with with the humility not with you know now we're going to study title and talk Taylor no this this is food this is what gets it what gives him life what gives him kayak anyway after you finish the Shiva at 19 1954-55 he went to energy Israel to get smika and he got speaker by the chief Rabbi of yerushalayim Frank who was ignoring himself and by RAF Herzog the rabba Rashi vertices and he always would say the tests were so difficult you had to know every primitude and and and he he aced he got a hundred excellent because of his Grace cup so again the Smith he got from the peso three Frank and RAF Herzog he came back to uh America in 1958 and he married the daughter who does the daughter foreign who had several children and one daughter married rep David by the way here she had a ton of was a brother-in-law with a mental photofas and Rupiah korf so that's how the christianskis and the mandoliners are all related anyway he got married and he lived in Crown Heights till about 1973. when he came back here when he came back here he attended City College and he became an engineer and during the day he worked at Schlesinger press to bring home food for his family for working during the day and at night he went to City College and of course he excelled there and was hired by the government was hired by the government first he worked at the uh the 60s and worked at the Brooklyn Navy Yard the same the same place where the devil worked and he his his work was a top secret it was during the Cold War and he developed over the years the like the GPS for the Navy both for the uh the air air Division and the naval and the ship division things like the altitude of How High and how low plane planes fly and how you know things like that and other such things which was all top secret in fact he he he supervised many people and he went out to test sites to test to see the testing the equipment because he he was the person one of the people behind it so you have to see if it actually works and it was all top secret he hardly ever spoke about it to his family and to others for sure now an interesting thing his relationship with the Devil was in I believe at the end there's 60 or the 70s he had an offer from singer company they were private private Enterprise an engineering company that heard about it above it's a genius and then him being a in a lead position for the government in the naval division so they wanted to hire him and give him a tremendous uh contract with uh pay probably it was double triple and and then side benefits and he asked that HIPAA and the Reba said he should ask other experts in the field but his opinion would be to stay with the government job because with them you have stability you know you'll the government is here it's not going anywhere whereas a private company yes it's today doing great and has much more money to pay you a great bigger salary but you don't know if it'll be here tomorrow and if David listened and he worked for the government all his life till he retired I believe in 1987. so in 1973 he was transferred by the government to Philadelphia and he lived there until about 19 um 87 or so I forget I forget so he he he yeah he lived I think there until 87 and then he was transferred to San Diego till he retired but wherever he went he gave she urin title was his life he gave classes wherever he went he taught people I was told that in Philadelphia there was a very large great supporter of the best Yakov over the wild Rabbi abramov was in charge of that school many years ago probably in the uh yeah in the 70s anyway and Roberto introduced this this supporter to and he wanted to learn and he started to learn with them and he became enthralled with the learning and at a dinner for basiako if he got up and he said everyone should know that my teacher of David krasnyansky has changed the way I think and the way I behave his impact on people was in a very paninistical way a very deep way and it came all through Taylor through learning Tata through learning Tata and observing a person who was so humble so unassuming so special his has it his kindness was not known by many in Philadelphia he had many times those people that no one else wanted at their table were at the dovet's table and with apostles but not with you know Fanfare I am inviting the the people who no one else wants no where he came from Keith Europe the Holocaust reminiscent that went into his blood stream the hasid to help another yeet there's many more things that could be said and will be said and oh I forgot to mention that he was a ninth generation from the belshemta both adult the daughter of the belshantev Eric SV from both of them he was a ninth generation from the belshanto so that's a pretty good yes a pretty good pedigree he was his own man this was a person who knew all of Tata he had the idea knowledge in all sections of Taylor for example in the last few years one of the sons told me they would meet each others a friend of mine is the Hawaii you come in from you know his father would ask him how are you doing there and things like that but then right away talking about the bit like yesterday you know the my modem of the of the previous Revenant office and this is what he enjoyed talking to Angel about you know I'm just saying that what what this man lived with was tada in the last 10 years or so he was the Russia kailu of the kailuan Crown Heights very tired she asked my father to say and my father would say the words but not only did he just learn he he would help to tell me them you know you could see he wasn't you know uh Rush Kayla who was you know walking around like you know okay I'll do your favor I'll tell you I'll explain something to you this was his and by the way that that person I told you about him the bishop of the wealthy man the supporter he wanted to pay them dovet he says what you're gonna pay me for Taylor to learning title with you this is my life he didn't accept the son for him so he was in the world of Tita till the end till the end I remember after the minion this opinion that we dive in that early million of 770 but so after the minion finishes we go downstairs there's a room over there and they have a kiddish he'd come in he would hear kidish he would have a little wine all the high up a little bit he'd drop and add up maybe a cookie maybe not a racist book and then I would go across the street sometimes it was early and I would see the dove is sitting there and learning about it and there are times as he was getting old they would fall asleep I would saw him at the gamutta but the good mother was open he would he learned for several hours across the street shot this morning uh good morning I saw it you know was open so all I can say is that that left a wonderful family I know you know muttle the oldest son and itchel and but see and Benny the schlier in the Upper West inside then he has younger brothers I think some of Montreal his son-in-laws avram freed of freed of our that's his son-in-law so mayor's his wife and children and grandchildren and by the way all of his children and all the grandchildren a great time really massive out of all everyone but many of them the the the learning of theta and the javivas fataya the love potato this was the dovet and he succeeded in communicating it to them without having to tell them this is what you should do he just saw him and and you observed them this is who he was and the respect that they that the children and the grandchildren gave to Deb David was awesome really awesome something to be jealous of help Ed him moisture and the fact that there was no shiver and there's no slation shows that he went right into gunadin together with our neighbor and with other Kim and soon they'll be the kids he'll rise together with everyone else to go together
