time
rabbi all time all of a sudden
for close to 80 years for the frida kara
band that had
started in 1940 in evil the freddie
grandpa sent him
to baltimore to speak to the rabbanim
and speak to the students at near israel
it's documented
and he passed away last year
nearly 80 years probably the longest
liar ever
it will be in the guinness book of
schluchen
anyway i have a personal
connection to rabbi altine and a
personal
indebtedness and feeling and that and
that's why
i'm get making this tribute to him
rabbi all time was born in 1919
i believe in the lower east side
and he told me about this about 11 years
ago in 2009
one shabbos he was in shul in borough
park our mashfi and the shores of label
old time his son and he was together
with him for shabbos
and he shared his memories of this
wonderful time when he was born
and afterwards when he went to yeshiva
and to hey there
they moved his parents moved they
believed to brownsville
and uh he went to high in berlin
and later he went to ter of adas
and he told me all about it and there
are a few things that
i could talk a long time about him
because he was such a special yeet
and he was around and it was a shleaf
and it was really a rov this wasn't
islam
a rabbi in a rave you know bashem with a
nickname
he was he he he he was our teacher
our rebbe for tara
the rebbe appointed him and his
rabbitson olayasholum
rabbi jacobson's daughter
to teach he should teach the boys the
men
the bucharam and she should teach the
khalas
and that was part of
that was actually my first
relationship with him was in 1984 when i
was a cousin
i learned by him and asked him questions
both publicly and privately
and my caveat him and other people in
the class
didn't sometimes want to ask certain
questions and
they asked me if i wouldn't mind and i
did and he was always
right on top of things not embarrassed
to answer
had the information and i'm including
shiloh the troopers foreign for the
debris senator of i remember and other
abundant con
that moises child of troubas but he had
a vast knowledge
of information that blabel told me this
past shabbos that his father would get
up every day and five o'clock he was
already sitting
in the when he came to the house in the
bronx where he lived
and he had his yeshiva m
which he started in 1945
the friday was sent to start at yeshiva
and he founded the yeshiva and he was
there till
i think 1996 or so anyway
uh he he had a an armchair a recliner
and he would sit
and learn
and look at the tail
and he would make notes and look with
the tight entire
where he learned today so he knows
tomorrow where to start and so he
finished
based on the episode each week
and he was a massive talmud he wasn't to
some learning legitimacy he was learning
everything be ian
and hal anyway
he told me once that if i could that he
remembers
you never who were not from
in the 20s standing on milk carts you
know on the milk boxes
and preaching to other eden in the lower
east side like
what do you need to sim you know
mamas trying to persuade eden not to
keep
shabbos that's how how negative the
culture was in america
so when when when when people said that
the time
in europe by medicus rabbi all time told
me
that he heard it with his own ears as a
young boy
in the 1920s
but that's a past because people have
done shiva
and uh we're in a different time and
we're not going to talk about that now
we're in the time we're preparing for
mashiach
it's
had humble beginnings his parents worked
very hard
the house wasn't a wealthy home
everything was accounted for and he told
me how he would schlep on a bus out by
himself as a young boy to go to yeshiva
and in the 1930s as he became a baker
and he was learning a terrible das
and he also met rebecca jacobson who was
his future became his future
uh father-in-law and rabbi jacobson had
a whole group of talmudim
rabbi greenberg rabbi fogerman
and rabbi edelman and the gordons and
the whole group of heaven that were
learning the title of adas and he became
their father figure and he was
kind of them he taught them cetus
and he did it in different ways and i've
documented that in my book
which i encourage you to read if you
want to have an understanding of rabbi
jacobson's accomplishment
with these bachram and how he turned
them into lubavitcher
without pressuring them with giving them
room
but showing them the beauty of this
and with a the mossman came to
america and
came to america came to america they
were for praying for the
for for everyone and these boko haram
came and attended
and one were very impacted
and then it came 1939
and they decided they want to go to meet
the frida karebe to see the rebbe that
they heard so much about and they went
to europe
and two two and a half weeks later the
war broke out
and rabbi alter was one of the one of
the bakrim
and they turned around and they were
miraculously saved and he also told me
about that
how he met they met each other they must
be then they stayed with him and then
huggers and the different things
on the way out i believe he told me they
had a shiloh with shabbos
what should they do and uh the famous
abner
zemba who was at the rebels wedding and
gave them a gift the safe and is safer
etc
so he comes back from from europe
and the frida karebe comes to america
in march i believe of 1940s that it is
saved
and it's with these bachelorette that
went to what fox can
and a few and a few others american boys
that they started the la babachi yeshiva
which today is known as 770
770 yeshiva
to start the yeshiva with these
buccaneers i believe
that there is such a letter which was
written in in
i think 38 was written earlier and
because rabbi jacobson was constantly
sending reports and uh to defeat krebs
about
this group of bahrain and america was
one of the laban
one of the the the the the soldiers
1940.
so he
in 1940 like i told you that ever sends
him to uh
to baltimore that epicenter of the
greenberg that mayor greenberg i believe
to chicago and
a few others to other cities to to talk
and learning and see what's going
on but in baltimore there was this
yeshiva near israel which by the way
uh hashem will be another safer coming
out khabar and gadolin volume 2
in which uh one of the gdelem and the
the israeli rudiment of the yakov
yitzhak rudeman and his history which is
very interesting it came from alabama
home and then it became the shiva of the
liturgy yeshiva there you saw in
baltimore
so pumped when when the rabbi all time
told me
that marth kayaltan told me that when he
went to nerius to visit the yeshiva and
to meet the book of him previously set
up his
instructions rabbi rudeman wasn't there
but he met rabbi shasher who was a
booker there and others
he also met later rabbi gifter when he
was there about the gifter
who became the rashiva of tells yeshiva
later he was
at the noosa in baltimore at the time
and he met him
i called upon him he started ashleigh
and then the rabbit told him to go
to pittsburgh because he received a
letter and the
shoe was closing down was in a bad
neighborhood and maybe you can save it
and
see what he could do so yesterday you
know before you just kiss live if you
can go
you know after you've touched them so
you can be at that episode
if this kiss looked like he said no go
tomorrow morning he called him in he
called him in like in the afternoon
um i think it was uh the crime lieberman
came down over suddenly he saw him he
said the rebel wants you
and then i said go and go tomorrow no
you just kiss live
in 770 go there and he went there and he
had a cabalas upon him no one came he
thought
you know they never wrote a letter to
them and the rabbit told them
that he's sending a representative
talmud
nothing nada ganesha
and he goes to wash the show and he sits
there and gunner she's learning and he
says
he looks outside he sees kinder luck he
says kindle
and all the teenagers and he goes out he
says maybe he would like to learn
and he gathered several together and he
started with a few
and from that it became mamish a yofutsu
it became a dissemination where he had
hundreds of of of teenagers your
children and teenagers learning
and not just learning you know uh simple
learning but for those that were shy out
there he went to them gemara
and rashi and taiswas and push it with
them for three hours the label told me
from
three in the afternoon till six they
finished public school from three to six
and it became such a big operation that
he needed help so the
mental feldman he brought his very good
friend that mental feldman to help him
and he was there for i think two years
and then the debate then he
came back he got married i believe in
i believe and at that time that episode
that shalom plays there
who was this who was who's his became
all time married mrs
a daughter and um
actually none of shalom's
granddaughter anyway i'm confused i'm
sorry
i'll call upon him he um he uh
they're related upon him he that then
ever sent him to the bronx and he was
there from 1945 till 1996.
the label shared a story that's worth
mentioning on such a day on his yard
site
the illness and this happened during
shiva when the
avram rosenfeld the rover of the
bavarian borough park
and the other children of the sons and
daughters
and they told the following story in the
late 70s sometimes late 70s
mark holton came into the rashad's
office
and uh roosevelt happened to be there
because he you know he assisted the
rashad he drove him and
other things for him so he happened to
be there
and he and he heard the way the the
he would like to know if he has
permission to take
an additional five dollars a month for
his salary because his family is growing
could you imagine five dollars a month
and yes
it was worth more much more than five
dollars a day but still
and the shock burst out laughing
like and why did he do it
because in the 42 or 43 when he was
working in in pittsburgh
and and he had so many children he
opened up commentators in different
locations that's why he needed a mental
feldman
and others to help him to manage in this
area in that area
so he has to feed the kreb about it
before opening up and how he should do
it
and defeated grabber said that his
yeshiva
is called
was for the
who is the director of the
rabbit but mainly she asked rabbi
when to open how to open the hoola
didn't do anything about with the
yeshivas without consulting with
rabbi in the rashad because the rabbit
throwing this in 1942 and 43
or 43. but mailer therefore in 19 the
late 70s when he needs a raise
and he's raising the money he himself
raised the money for his yeshiva
the budget was on his shoulders he
wouldn't take an extra five dollars
without asking rabbi gerard if he has
permission
what does this be speak of kabbalah sale
that kabbalah sailed the acceptance the
subservience
to a higher authority
the amish that obey him
and in this case that the defeated cadet
is appointing for the yeshiva
was his reality and
i want to read just briefly
a few lines in a letter he does kind of
look zion of the fleet of cadaba where
he writes to the sheldon posner
on august 23rd 1943 huff basement
gimbal it's letter 2 119
bass cuff your test on page shin
362 towards the bottom he says to the
show them
surely you'll be makatif
surely you'll you you you'll show
closeness and warmth to my
important
student the one who's talented and who
has good middles good character
rabbi mort hyder of all time
who's the russia shiva yeshiva in
pittsburgh
and you'll show them the proper respect
in addition to the fact
that he worked for a year and a half
starting
and founding the yeshiva in pittsburgh
in addition to that listen to the
language now he loves us
this is already on shin sam on the next
page top paragraph
he's a serious he's a precious bucker
with a syrian with a inner and serious a
deep and serious
nature
and there's great blessing that is
bestowed
upon him that he has hashem
hashem shall help him in gashmi saduktis
in the physical and spiritual
he knew me
gillam
on for all those of his age and those
bakulam those
that you know those american boys
that are on the front helping the frida
kader do
because of their complete and total
dedication
for this and truthful dedication what
a compliment what an accolade
i don't believe i haven't seen another
accolade about a 21 year old booker
19 uh not 21 23
tough shin right 23 23 years old not
married
single and then ever righteousness about
him
this was old time
this is why his yard site isn't just a
yard site for the family
a york site for uh for a prat for an
individual
it's for us for us to know
that a person he had arika's young and
davis that benched him he gave him he
lived over a hundred years
but his young men were malayan
completed says that all of his days
each day was full full
remarkable days were full
