speaking about rabbi rudeman there you
throw
a few more points in nineteen twenty
three
rabbi yehuda levenberg a slobodka
student
came to new haven and he opened
what was called the basement
and he hired a staff including
rabbi rudimen's father-in-law rabbi
shaftal kramer
as the masjid yeshiva was there from
1923 to 1929 approximately
and at that point ivy levenberg moved
the yeshiva to cleveland
he got a job as a rob in cleveland and
he opened the yeshiva there and it was
called
the new haven yeshiva of cleveland
every rudimental came to america in 1930
moved with ishvar there
might have moved all year later
and uh he became a main teacher
a main shiva in the yeshiva
there was a heluca deus there was
different opinions between the
cramer rudeman and rabbi levenberg
arabella eliezer silver and the father
abundant
were asked to intervene and he pascant
he ruled
that rabbi
that rabbi um
kramer is the manager the administrator
rabbi rudeman should be the shiva
and rabbi levenberg the masjid rohney
there's very interesting letters and
documents about this
that i have in the archives and one of
which
hashem i'll be printing in my second
volume of chabad in the dolem in the
future
this rabbi levenberg was
a very special heat and the family of
ravish
sheftel kramer i spoke this week to have
a sheftel
new burger rabbit new burger's
father-in-law was also rabbi scheftel
kramer so
his son chef though is named after the
zeta
who passed away in 1942
so he told me only wonderful things
about rabbi levenberg
they felt that levenburg had gone
through a very difficult time in new
haven
at that time 1929 there was prohibition
and rabbi levenberg was supervising
kosher wine and selling it
also to the new haven college
administration as sacramento wine which
was of course a way that they could
drink and party at the university
the uh the reason that
it caused revelation problems is because
there was prohibition so he wasn't
allowed to do that
but with that with that money and he
started before but it continued so with
those funds he was able to fund his
yeshiva
so he was well intended but the pressure
got too much and
he had to uh find another other means of
employment because the
the federal government came down on him
and told him he has to stop selling the
wine
which he did that meant he didn't have a
panosa so
he found the job as a rov in cleveland
once he was in cleveland he opened up
his yeshiva
rabbi rudeman rabbi kramer of chef of
sheffield kramer felt that
he was he was he was born i think in the
1870s or early 1880s
and he was getting old and they didn't
feel that he's
he was very much into musser and
he was demanding a lot from the students
america
american boys in cleveland in the 1930s
and they felt it was a little too much
and he didn't want to compromise on his
way so there was a disagreement
and balabati lay people in the community
got involved and it became a big mess
and that's why rabbi silver made the
shuttle the compromise and the ruling
that he
ruled as i mentioned earlier but going
back to
rabbi rudiments ravi rudeman was on a
fundraising trip
in 1933 in baltimore for the
for the yeshiva for the new haven
yeshiva connecticut
and he was approached by members of the
te faires
ferris israel tourists israel yeshua
they would like him to be their rabbi
thereof
and rabbi schwab who is then the rav of
the sheriff israel
yakuzu also encouraged him to stay
so he said he would stay and take the
job if they allowed him to open up a
yeshiva
his own yeshiva in the school
and they agreed and that's where neri's
soul began
in 1933 his father-in-law who remained
in cleveland
sent him five ton media five students
and he began with five students
in 1938 when rabbi hermann neuberger
who was world known and world known for
his
activities he was he and moshe sharer of
the goddesses
worked hand in hand on behalf of
claudius roh
sort of a herman neuberger he
he came in 38 and at that time there
were 40 tell me than 40 students in
there you throw
rabbi rudeman as i said last week was a
lubavitcher boy growing up in dalinov
and his father yehuda labe was a chabad
hosset
and he repeated to
a student student haskell
margaretten from the famous horowitz
margaret matza family
who told me this week that rabbi
rudiment told him on one of the walks he
would walk with him
you know because of a rudiment he loved
walking and he needed to walk
and in the times that he was well he
would
have a one or two bacharam or kylo young
light walk with him and they were quiet
and he would be saying and
gemara and mishnais and reviewing the
entire time for an
hour back and forth and when he wasn't
well he schmoozed you know
he was made more light conversation with
them so he told the
this rep this margaret who told me
that said
either it was mint when he was a minsko
kramachok i think it was incremental
in 1917 or 18
18 or 19. those years when slobodki was
in kramerchuk from 1918
till 1921 approximately 20 or 21.
so he said that he learned with alabama
hosted the entire
titan but i imagine every shabbos
and when he shared this with the altar
of slabotka
that doesn't sri finkel he told them he
should stop
learning this and
this adds the story adds
an understanding why and how a boy of
13 14 15 who grew up in alabachia home
and alabama
was i remembered the siddhis of isis and
and he felt good about it how he was he
left it all
because when he met the altered and he
learned
by the altar in zlatka for years he took
him as his private his rebbe
his his teacher his uh rabbi muvak
and his guide and mentor so when the
altar tells
him to stop learning torah with this
laboratory
he listened and i'm sure that this
wasn't the only thing he told him to
stop
as far as khabad hug him or different
things that he had from his childhood
why the alta had that sheet this is you
know
something to speculate about or discuss
or think about
you know i mean he wasn't known as a
vicious miss nugget casual you know it
was known as a lit [ __ ]
you know but but
seemingly he didn't want the buchanan to
to cox in these type of things rather
in the gamut and musser and things like
that
be that as as it may going back to rabbi
rabbi rudeman of near israel we must
recognize that
what they what he accomplished
single-handedly really
in baltimore is an amazing thing he took
a city which was
by and large a mizrahi oriented from
city
in the 1950s there were only 200
families from families there mostly were
mizrahi oriented
and he brought in tata tata into the
community
and basically they became a right wing
what they call a right-wing
orthodox community a hereditary
community and a good community
behind them in zuzan gazunt you know
took that and
he was a student of uh rabbi rudim and
he really made the akuda
very very powerful there through his
shul and classes and then with kashus
but robert rudiment was the founder and
the and the one who laid out the
the the plan him and actually rabbi
newberger together i would say
the fact is that
that he the staff that he had
he gave them independence and this is
something to his credit
in other words that nerius roll in in
their heyday
not that they're not that they're a
small yeshiva now they're a large
yeshiva with much success but in their
heyday
they had a yid named rabbit kolevsky
rebecca levski came from
although like i told you i think last
week
asked him and told him that he doesn't
want to wear a guard outside of his jack
on the
top of his jacket because he didn't want
that hatred yeshiva
right or wrong it's another discussion
but that's that's a fact
and uh so he had robert kolevsky then he
had david
crumb glass who was magic
talmud another style then he had
jakob weinberg his own son-in-law
son-in-law who was different than him
and robert crone glass so he had some he
had high-powered
individuals in tata and rashkafa
and he gave them all a place and this is
uh something that
is rare to find where rosh shiva who
makes a yeshiva and it's his baby it's
his yeshiva
and usually the rajashiva wants everyone
to to kind of do it his way
so when talking to various talmudim this
week
who are in the 70s and 80s they they
tell me that ruby rudiment was not that
way as long as
it was toyota oriented he said
go for it if you have another style that
my own style no problem
this is what i was told this week so
i just wanted to complete these a few
details
and what's the connection to shabbos
jason sien
simply speaking this means we need to
increase our learning of tata both
nigler siddhis
and also giving of tzedakah
and this shabbos that believed teaches
us
that we see we have a vision of the
third base amigdas
and the rebbe explains in so many cities
that this isn't
some kind of uh figment of um your
imagination my imagination
i believe ethan's imagination this is a
reality
how is it a reality if you're a reality
if we are a reality then this is a
reality and if we're not a reality
in other words if we're living in a
world which is dominated and controlled
by sheckered
by lies and and and and the deception
and issues then this is also a bubble
mice
but if we look we're living with today
we're living with avoid that we're
living with
siddhis we're living with the rabbi
we're living with ava's israel
and this is a reality so everyone should
endeavor
whether it be today whether it be
shabbos
whether it be matsushabus or during the
week
live with the bass on mikdus see the
base on mikdus
and see that it's possible to see ullah
redemption
in your life hence when it comes tish
above it will be kodo elimboy there will
be
and we'll be together you may know amen
amen
