Rashags 32 Yahrtzeit Connection w Litvishe Roshei Yeshiva True Hiskashrus to Rebbe

is amalek is called kite apathy we have that opportunity the shabbos yesterday other was the 32nd yard site of raphsmario garadi known as the rashad the rebels brother-in-law the previous rebbe's older son-in-law who come who came from the illustrious family khabad family midday dairy is going back to the altar the karari family so i'd like to take a few minutes to mention a few things about him he was born in 1898 in kramerchuk ukraine with the guerrari family his father and two brothers owned various businesses a tobacco company and other types of businesses and they were the among the or maybe the leaders of the jewish community in the sense of connections leadership support i wrote about this in uh my book where uh chabad and gadaylan number two a little history of the goraris and kramachok which is uh interesting because there was a lot of frumkite and yiddish kite in the uh from you know in kamichuk from the [Music] 1870s 80s until 1920 or so and the gerardis were a mainstay a mainstay and in fact for example the repshaya denberg who was the father of the label denver zaghazunt and the khabad labacher family of denberg in the early years in 1951 and 52 those years that blabel denberg who lives in montreal was in crown heights in 770 and he met the rashad and he asked him who are you and then i shot asked that lady says i'm labeled denver because oh your father who is shy as yeah says your father taught me smika in 1915 in lubavitch i believe and because of that i'm sorry not in lubavitch he taught him smith shook when rabshaya wanted to get out of the draft prisif so he the karates would hire you when he hired you then you were able to get away from uh being drafted so the the guraris made a deal that rashaak's father made a deal with rabshaya denberg who was a guy nailed him at matamutham he said if you teach my son for smitha i'll hire you officially and you'll avoid the draft and kaka that's the way it was anyway they say that he learned by heart 300 my murder and this is one of the reasons that the refrigerator chosen as a son-in-law the rashad was a very powerful person in a way very much underestimated and naturally because that ever became our ebba and the focus is on the web and everything that it ever does he took a back seat which ultimately actually a few years after the rebels in cs in 1953 or so he got on board and he saw that the rebbe is the rabbit at sadiq and he was he connected himself and gave himself over completely to the rebbe i heard from my mashpeer mailer below who told me that the rashad was more bottled to the rabbit than to the frida kadabra he didn't explain and uh i don't believe in explanations necessary those that no no those that don't know should find out or not find out but his little to the rebel was tremendous in 1940 he came along with the frida keraba to america and he was appointed by the fleet of kiraba to be in charge of taiwan he was the manila payou of tim the principal the dean the administrator of the yeshiva of the laboratory yeshiva and he opened 14 yeshivas he had under him this was reported in the publication called the americana this kind of journal in the 40s and they had a they have a write-up i put it also into the book of uh the rashad's personality and his accomplishments on behalf of la in the philippines he had 14 yeshivas and all the decisions the the friday could happen and then the later regarding yeshiva's temple they wanted them to go through the rashad and they did i'll give you an example of the murder old time who was appointed by the fiduciary to open the yeshiva in pittsburgh and then in the bronx so in the 70s you know his family was they needed they were getting married the the children and he had a salary that went back to 1945 or so so he asked permission from to increase his salary by a little bit he went into rashad this was told over by rosenfeld who happened to be there and and over here the conversation and the rashad he asked like for such a small increase that rashad burst out laughing you know like of course you can have an increase but the point is he had the kabbalah sale this is the virtue of remarkable time all of a sudden the great hussey who passed on this past year at the age of 100. to have this couple of soil that you know if you kept told them in the 40s that to discuss everything with rashad about the yeshivas just continued on the next 30 40 years so the rashad was a powerful man but i want to talk about his connection and with with russia shiva's namely the baron cutler edward rudermann uh michael feinstein and others i heard this uh from ramosa bhagavatam it was a very sticky situation you understand in the 40s like like i wrote about in lakewood and lubavitch there was you know many issues between the frida kraber and cutler and it's a whole discussion for itself and um and then the 50s there was reparation money being given the yeshiva started to work with each other you know the mere yeshiva with its and and the lake would just even with the cutlers after they pissed away in the 60s and uh rabbi feinstein wasn't well he you know traditions rely him of course of moisture and and others and um how did rashad balance it on one hand he's the son-in-law the free of the future and we know the issues between between and up and the frida karabiner was serious and at the same time he maintained connection contact with these russia shivas and i believe that uh this was uh you know besides his you know brightness and his cleverness that in order to for the betterment of all yeshivas including you got you have to keep the uh the lines open the channels open and in a smart way dialogue and i told me that uh once the bar cut was set so what is this is what is what does that have to say about it this was after these talkers the free crap in the 50s so he was kind of um an in between the pavich and the whitfisher world and he and because of his stature as a spokesman as a sophisticate okay the way he was dressed and the way he he carried himself with elegance and and forthrightness and uh diplomacy he he he had weight he really really was a very powerful person and the lift fisher world in those years respected him and they they they needed him and they wanted him now you have to understand that even people who came from russia the frida kareem and the rashad had connections with many many russian hidden probably anyone there was anything in russia they knew even the lit fox there the wealthy with fox and they were supporting wasn't well and he was the one that had these connections so i heard that in the 40s um they reached out to to rashad to try to get them into the various people for their lit for yeshivas okay so this is another element of what he did especially in the forties and the fifties you know in the sixties uh bridging the gap between lobovich but as the years went on he became more and more mikusher more and more connected to the rebbe let me tell you what one story in 1966 or 67 68 those years they were building a new yeshiva ocean parkway there was a drew funded it uh mr groose joseph groos his cfo was joe froelke i met joe froelken and i interviewed him joe frollock told me that yeshiva wanted to have mr grouse give them the money and they were going to build the building and mr gru said no i built the building and um you get a free building but i take that's the that's the way we do it they did it he did it for square he did it for other shivers and that's the way he did it well there are there are shag and and rabbi weinberg and and cats and those people that work with them didn't like this arrangement for whatever reason so rashad asked mr grouse if he's willing to go to the rabbi for the rabbit to mediate and they said sure and they went into the rebel of irides and rashad presented his his position the yeshiva's position and mr groots and joe froelich presented their position position and that i believe after listening to both said to mr groose and joe froelich gate ayurveg just continue doing it your way fronted rashad and the rashad accepted it and had no tightness and that's the way it was so too with urushious inheritance monies that was left over yeshiva over the years that hashab always gave in 50 or 51 percent to the river and i believe it was a 1971 tough shilling but aleph was 7071 where the rashad wrote after the tissue he was so impressed that would have tissues and all the and the connection with the russian jews and that he he wrote a letter a letter to the rebels saying i want to be connected i want to be connected what's going to be with me i want to be connected and finally towards the end of his life after he had a stroke in the early eighties you know uh the whole issue with the library this for him and his son which was a very very painful thing for him he sided with the rebbe and the rabbitson said my husband had one true husset and maybe his greatest hostage was his brother-in-law we shouldn't forget him in the annals of the bavish of chabad he did so much for us and we should continue through strengthening the yeshiva shivas and we'll have foreign
