Hope Simchat Torah 50 years later is an even greater Simcha.
We got engaged on Channuka. We have been living down under for over 30 years, so it’s a little far to be able to join you.
Best way to have input from Shmuel is through his Tanach/ Gemara/sichot learning website: http://www.naleket.com

I’ve been there many times for visits. They are a warm, caring family. THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF WHO EVER GOES, and you could be sure that you will not go hungry in their town!

The community as a whole is warm and welcoming, and ready to have a good time!

p.s. I hope you are ready for those “REFRESHMENTS” 😉

Memories of Avi Baitelman

Thank you for this beautiful article about these amazing bochurim – best of luck this Simchas Torah. You also just awakened so many incredible memories of the inimitable Avi Baitelman OB”M. Crown Heights was blessed to have him ‘cuz he was known for being the friendliest, most caring and giving individual. He also always brought incredible joy and spirit to every wedding he attended.

Wow!

I remember Avi Baitelman he was such a nice man.

chassanim

I’m guessing Baitelman, Shafran and Slodowitz.became chassanim in 1966, but it would be cool if it was confirmed.

Also, I’m not sure of this was part of the intention but perhaps the organizers of this 50th marker might want to hint that it’s possible that the bochurim who participate might inherit the rebbe’s brocha of chassaning (for “going away for Simchas Torah”). Maybe it can become a segula trip.

Happy!

…and did all three bochurim really find their besherts within that year?
