Shalom Aleichem and welcome to her
bottom friends episode number five today
I'd like to talk about two two things
one is this coming week is a museum
you'd basil the 12th of the home which
is the day when the previous Rabbit of
the 80s came to America the first time
in 1930 and from the port he came
straight to Borough Park he stayed on at
rabbi Simpsons house and show which was
in the same building the same house on
14th of 46 and I'm coming Thursday or so
I've made a special clip telling you the
history about it and I hope you'll have
a chance to see that but one of the
things that I remind myself of is
something that Rabbi Sol Jacobson who
was the activist one of the activists
maybe the one who was the most active on
behalf of the previous era at the time
as far as dealing with kinds of people
in which he related the following that
ever came to the house many many there
were thousands of people who came to
greet him and many that burned him and
Daelim and other community leaders came
to see him and they wanted to give him
Shalom and not everyone can get in they
never heard about it and he called in
this is on the same day on your days ll
it was a Tuesday 1929 September 17th I
believe and he said to the Bistro he
said I was told that many table name and
g'day limb and community leaders came to
give show them and they weren't able to
get in they were told they out there you
can't come in too many people and they
were turned away and they were quite
upset so not me Jacobson said they did
ever
I was I wasn't in charge the Kramer's
the family that helped bring together
and pay for it and they were very very
active that way they were in charge
it was reticent as sure so it wasn't my
domain
you know I whatever I was asked to do I
did but I I wasn't the bala boss I
wasn't the the one to make the decisions
so the epicenter of a Jacobson you saw
he said he's wrong his name was he throw
you throw next the mall villain it the
next time I don't want there to be an
excuse in other words you have a good
excuse I understand you have a
legitimate reason why you didn't take
charge but the next time there is such
an opportunity and people come I don't
want it to be an excuse
get up he was on the second floor go
downstairs
tell whoever is in charge at the door
that I would like to see any growth
community leader that must have come to
show them they should be allowed in so
he went down and he told the people at
the door what did ever said and I think
this is a very important lesson for us
although we have excuses and legitimate
excuses but when the job doesn't get
done it's not acceptable you might have
the best excuses you know you're not the
boss you're not in charge but the job
didn't get done and so we learned from
what the 50 to Kadapa toga a Jacobson
next to mow next time which was shortly
thereafter after I finish speaking with
you is the next time go downstairs and
make sure that everyone who needs to
come in gets in and that's what happened
and it worked he told the people at door
that they never told them this and they
knew that Ravi Jacobsen would be making
up my
Allah you know he's a madman of truth
and of course they let everyone in
another thing that I just heard and I
think it's important to share is there
was of course a bird of bed but
apparently labor which the cabinets
cabinets a receiver a great Saturday
king gödel and Thomas Holcomb I bought a
bear had a southern boy named herb
roofing reserve ski and a brooding the
reserves he became a receiver in the
1940s in titova das a bluefin group

son one of his sons with the only
daughter of a famous kebab Casa de Barra
Melia Axelrod who was the rub in that
Somerset actual in Baltimore from 1925
to 1952 and this LaBarbera Melia was a
was was a great club amateur faucet an
avid Talmud Holcomb everything
extensively about him and what impact he
made on the community and they evicted
Miller would always say that who taught
him how to learn properly a piece of her
mother
it was rabbi Axelrod because he grew up
in Baltimore and and labellum Elia
learned with him and so other people of
Agra Daelim later on were impacted by
rabbi Axelrod Sarah Barbara Bailey
oxidized daughter Ruth Ruth Ruth II who
I knew and I spoke to she married the
sons of Reuben Drew's offski so in the
family they told over one of the
grandchildren told one of the children
