was the man of 770 after the passing of in 1989 he took over for his father-in the when the became the re 1920 so his son-in-law his older son-in-law rash became the the acting principal of when he passed away in 1989 drasin became the manile PO but in addition to that this yeasin had his hands in every single thing in 770 and laich of the Reb meaning from the the Reb appointed him to so many different leadership positions and why I knew this person why because he was a balat he he was energetic and he got things done and true he was a Russian very KH who was a contemporary of his at hisim which I attended summed it up best said they asked him to speak so he says he had a Shear that night that he has to he has to go to the shear but he has just one thing to say that the Rasin he said was a student of everyone knows was into a daving with great kav daving for many hours and hisf and subjugating especially from eating much and all that which inab today they call that the the sixth generation the Generation generation is Outreach Etc said that alav was a talmid a student a tal ma a real I don't know if he Ed those words Mai I don't recall if used those words but the idea he meant that uh he received in the inner making of he lived out what wanted in his and his everything else nevertheless when the Reb became Reb and he became the Reb's he he went along with the Reb's approach not that he did that he gave up daving and his scfa but his emphasis was ha so he became he was appointed by the Reb to head I believe in 1955 the laich Youth Organization which consisted of sending to to to speak between it consisted of putting giving out and packages and all the all the things that are a norm today started then and who headed it he was also in as I said the Mano in 770 he would come in to the base medish the upstairs zal we call it the small based medes this was when I was a yet in Yesa like 1982 or 3 or so and I became a and so between the the engagement and the which is like the best of the best time y call Yer I went over to him he was standing I remember at the beima upstairs in 770 and he's standing there and I don't he was marking attendance I don't recall what he was doing and I say I say in Yiddish he spoke Yiddish he didn't really speak English I think he understood English but he didn't really speak it or speak it much or definitely a very broken English so I say maybe maybe you could tell me what's the recipe for a good marriage so he looks at me he thinks and he says if your wife will make you some food on it's and it's too salty don't say anything laughed he laughed with a twinkle in his eye and that was it the best marriage advice he could have given he gave why put yourself aside to your wife she made you food be so thankful it doesn't taste so good it's too salty excuse me shut your mouth be quiet and understand thank her you for making it you didn't make it that was in line with his whole aafia and all that you know don't don't don't put an emphasis on the food it sounds like a little silly little story in that personal thing that you know but it tells you a lot about the person I recall he was also in charge of what was called tal or as he would say it some Russians can't say the they say means to go to walk from the word to go to to go where to walk to shs and give over which does during the the three and other times and the would speak about it when the next day the and ask everyone who the really really supported the and started I think during even during the freedus times I think 1945 or so I'm not anyway it started either in the 40 or 50s and ABD was in charge of it and when he would speak about tal and he he would once a year night that was the only time remember him and it was a to be seen he took mashka and he would start talking about he would like he' be sarcastic his sarcasm about eating and drinking and pizza and soda and and many of the people who already balab that children they would come to that fa because they remember the fa from their youth when they were that it brought it made them laugh and they felt good so was a fa that was to the once year with and he would talk about T and he would say like what is your whole a worth if you don't go on Tal so what said about him was was exactly true you know how can you compare just walking to sitting and learning and daving and and and being misb and meditating on on getting your feet to move because the wants you to go share see this in other shs for other yeen is more important than your own daving and learning finally this ye was about he didn't have it easy in his physical material life and regardless you never heard from him a complaint you never never one last thing I remind myself I worked for the Yeshiva years ago for for 770 and R David was the one who had to sign off he had to sign up contract you know the dev wanted a contract between an employer and employee including in the Yesa system so he was summoned by rowski to come to his office with me and we'll sign the contract the pen was in his hand like this and he wouldn't put it down and sign andasi says we have to sign it and he just look and think and he wouldn't sign finally after a long time he signed it he didn't explain but I think communism and the Russian mentality of putting pen to paper and and committing to something and the fear of that was still ingrained in his DNA but it was a scene to be seeing you know here I am everyone's agree agreed that I should work for them they need me they want me I want to work for them to help the Yesa okay we have an agreement we we we spoke about it orally sign it he holding the pen looking and thinking so this was a very interesting a who was called his just passed away would tell over the the story that he he learned in bet and and was a there in the 1950s as well as and that once they took a ride from bford and Dean which is in bford Stenson to konits where kar's parents lived and he was a boy probably 11 12 13 a young boy and he uh they went together so he so asks him where you going she says I'm going home so he tells the taxi driver to pull up at 770 and he and he says here is your home get off and he says to this what do you mean this is not my house I live I live wherever I live you have to know that your home is 770 doid was scash full-fledged es kashus just like his brother the blel asking was es kashus I spoke about that in the earlier clip David was also his connected connection to Reb Reb Reb no all of the things that he he did for the the the for laich May his family his children his grandchildren great grandchildren all have only Simas everyone should go under the in a good way in a happy way and have G and happiness and taka live out the hisas that had to the Reb to the ab andus in a way that's real that's that's practical and that will bring him back together
