Chasid of the Rebbe, Emunas Yisrael shul specialty, Mashgiach yeshiva Torah Vodaas

this is a tribute toon who passed on this past Sunday 2024 wolson was the r of the Sho that became world famous known ASAS is which has its main Shool here in B Park and a vision of it in Jes in the holy city of Jerusalem rabie wolson was called by many people the Mas because he was the mashah the spiritual counselor in supervisor in the Yesa in the world famous one of the oldest shivas here in America called Tas and he was a most prominent m there a spiritual Mentor for hundreds and thousands of students throughout the years that he served as Mash hence they they would call him the Mas the is started on 45th Street between 12th Avenue and new utri in burrow Park many years ago with a small group of students of of tadas who were under the toage of Rabbi Wolfson and they made us a minion they rented I believe a storefront on that block and they made a minion and from there they moved over to I think 14th Avenue between 44th and 45th something like that and finally they built their Sho their big Sho their beautiful Sho on 16th Avenue between 43rd Street and 44th Street what's the specialty of this Sho the specialty is it's davening its prayers although it's open 24/7 for Learning and there's a lot of learning going on there serious learning individuals they alone people with study partners KES but what makes that sh special is the way they Davin and how long it takes them to D I believe a regular shabas minion is three hours a regular weekday minion I believe is an hour to an hour and a half the idea is to DAV mil word for word slow enunciated thinking the meaning of the words and immersing yourself in the emotions coming forth from the meaning but not in a way that is seen in other cidic communities such as stolin with there screaming as part of the uh service screaming to Hashem through words of prayer gasping for air and then letting it all out you know that's another part of this service and then there are other kasic groups there shaking and there's clapping and there's dancing and there's singing in am because Rabbi wolson was a Ardent student of the balat of the alter and he was this way because of his rebi sh F movich the main principle of toas who really put the Yeshiva on the map in the 1930s and 40s he learned by fich I spoke to him about this once and he told me so I asked him another few things about sha FAL movich I did this because I wrote a book called Tas and laich and you should read it because it's uh gives you an insight into these two very important institutions here in America in a sense which built Jew in America but going back to the the point so he had this strong feeling for the AL bat because himself did and in fact he would give a t and he would he would he would tell the the students in ter they shouldn't say and until today on KN between cortell you and um a see where the Yesa is they don't say so Rabbi wolson was n was educated this way coupled with that he heard about the previous re he might have even seen him I don't know and surely he heard and saw the Reba from the 1950s on and he became very attached to the re although he would say he has three rebers the the title B originally and then his son and he would say the but let me tell you that his connection with the Reb was a very deep one he understood that thead approach toid and to life is very different than sare and sat all very important but very different and he as a intellect someone who enjoyed a good vert someone who knew how to learn and someone who knew gatus and in fact talking about gatria numerical equivalent of Hebrew words and as they pertain to one's AEM one's service to God in 19 I think 89 he was at a a rally the Reb rally meeting in 770 the Reb spoke to the children and Rabbi JJ was translating and as the Reb was about to leave he says on out loud on the on the mic he says someone just handed me a note and said that the gatri of is 770 because the spoke in that about the the Shon the tribe Dan which it's Main purpose and service was to gather all the Lost items of the other Jewish PE of the Jewish people as they traveled in the desert and they would pick up and gather the the items lost and found to put it simply in English and and the spoke about the spiritual significance of Lost and Found how it applies to a a child's service and and breaking his Y and subduing his y Etc so was handed a note and he said the note said that the words if you equal if you add up the letters the numerical value it equals 770 and you can see this on on tape on video and the looked and he said like he made with his shoulders like interesting and he smiled and you know to to to cause a to bring a smile toward sadic and then and the is a very big later on we found out who was the person who mentioned this to RAB someone who knew RAB from youth this was RAB MOA wolson he happened to be 770 and he was listening to the now you tell me how many people come to 770 in middle of a a week was you're right so Ron would come because the concept of being making the pilm gridge you know to they would come to 77 and go to other another sik another Reb and Reb Wolfson came to 770 now now must I tell you what does that show that he had a respect and he considered the re his that he's making the AL during and and and in addition to that he brings laughter and a smile on the Reb's face when when he when he shares this ver this this idea that equal 770 I'm not here and I'm not from those that you know push the envelope but nevertheless when we talk about a Jew like RAB wolson who lived 99 years and that means he was born in 1925 and he lived through the the 20s and the 30s and the 40s the Holocaust here in America and and and post Holocaust and he saw the development of yish kite from from nothing in the 20s and 30s where it was anti- yish kite all around and he sort developing and being being augmented to the point where it is today which is barem thriving not just surviving Rabbi wolfon in 1971 he had two students in tadas from his best students he writes this in a letter I have the letter I printed it in this in my book he writes in the letter that two of his best students elik silverberg and herel LK Rabbi LK Rabbi LK senior who the former principal vola and Rabbi silverberg the r of of of the kabad sh in Michigan they told him that they want to leave the the following the following El they want to leave to 770 they want to transfer yeshivas this was I think in s when he wrote the letter niss or S anyway and he says to the rebba that whatever the rebba will tell him of course he will he will agree and and give them permission because they came to wolson to ask for his permission and his Blessing and so he writes a letter to the Reb and he says he just wants the he wants the re to and and they're going to have I think with the re so this issue will be brought up so he wants the to have the background the background is that they're from the older students from the two best students and they're a guide an excellent guide for the younger students in in in teras for the younger B so by them leaving it's a big hole in the base medish in in in the learning and not just in the learning in the and the conduct of being a and and everything else but then he said and then he says however whatever the Reb will tell me I will do because the words of the Reb are like look at the letter he wrote it in his own handwriting he he says I accept the words of theb like a a prophet amongst Israel calling the now if you ask any he'll tell you of course but RAB wolson wasn't aab RAB wolson so many rebik Etc and he comes to a place where he understands and he feels and he writes so I I need not tell you about the keser the connection the great connection between RAB wolfson's and kabad and and the re every year on UT here makes a big and for years he was always one of the guest speakers and understand rab wolson did not go to be for to be a formal speaker anywhere as far as I I was told but he made a point to come another thing that he came to was the L parade that kab of B Park made RAB Ginsburg made years he would attend as a guest speaker knowing clearly that there are some in the greater Brooklyn community that were against it for whatever reason it's not sne enough it's not this foolish stupidity but there was this opposition some what andt Wolfson specifically came to show that kabad laich is right bringing Jewish children together to say and to be a arous fored etc and TI study when he would go to Miami during the winter to get some resit he had he he would um he usually went when the was around that time and Rabel Shapiro of the sh an laich over there 41st Street area Miami with make of Faba and he was always he would always come and he would speak he did it not being forced he wanted to do it because he identified with the alter a person who lives 99 years there's so much to say about them what he did for his and for his students in was inculcate in them feeling is kind of a combination of a a approach and a approach although the main principle of shaal movich was I believe aan he was a Hungarian cidic Jew nevertheless the various rebies and and and rashash over the year some some some weren't for example Yakov ketki the great goov ketki he was a l he was a l he learned by the alar slot and and he didn't claim to be a far from it he wasn't anti him but he wasn't a and he was one of the RAS for years inas on the other hand you had doinel Rifkin pry the student of the re the fifth wrote he was with the last few weeks of his life and he documented it and he was but in addition in addition that it was a massive and he was one of the and also giving after passed away to the students to keep up this notion ofus inas it took people like Rabbi wolson today it's Rabbi williger different people who over the years they were the the the the force of inas and this idea is so relevant to his tal to his students today to continue theic warmth that he brought to Tas to continue it and to augment it and if it means to DAV to pray in his Sho to get that do that if it means to DAV or whatever sh you DAV and learn do that so we could easily you know just say wson was a and you know what does it have to do with us with with with B he was a a b he spoke that way he lived that way and you see that his son-in-laws and I believe his son was appointed brother wolson he left in his will he should become the r of and he so is most prevalent in Rabbi wolfson's mindset Rabbi Wolfson knew for example and grew up together with carb andan Shanker and others 1925 to 2024 99 years you meet a lot of people Wolfson passed away on the same yard site of Isel Jacobson who brought the one of the people of the most the main person who the activist who brought the defa to America saving him from not Germany and it was a Mas later in the in 770 and in 19 late 20s and 30s he spent time teaching to students of who wanted to learn and not just that they would come to his house and faing and that's why he's on the cover of my book and it's interesting that RAB wolfon pass passed away on the same day as his yard side is passed 49 years later Rabbi I believe Rabbi Jacobson passed away in 1975 andab wson passed away in 24 so everything's it all tied together what Rabbi Jacobson kind of began in in 19 in the 19 late 20s and 30s you know cultivating to learn to to be more and to understand Etc was then realized by Rabbi wolson all the all the years that he was Mas in in so mayem help for the benefit of his the students who loved him so much who love him who follow in his way should learn not just D with and not just shake with not just scream with and not just you know move and but to study and understand whatever you want he also was very big in in in in in the and of course T and guess what the see this as well as well is worth looking into anyway they should help that and very soon will be together with him and
