I remember as a small child almost 50 years ago how Reb Mendel stayed at our home and the strong roshem he had on me by his simple recital of Brochos word by word…not to mention his dancing on the table by the Farbrengen at Shul. May Hashem send nechamah to all his family…LJ

Reb Mendel was among those ch’ssidim whose very presence helped us conjure up a mental image of the lubavitcher ch’ssidim of czarist and stalinist russia. very few of them are still with us. we really do need moshiach immediately.

I had Reb Mendel as the mashipa in OT for a few years. He was a lively person also with a smile and good word. A true chosid of the Rebbe. May his Neshma have an Alyiah!

He didn't see the Rebbe Rashab
January 17, 2018 2:35 pm

Reb Mendel was born after the Rebbe Rashab left the city of Lubavitch and moved to Rostov.
Reb Mendel’s family moved to Rostov after the histalkus of the Rebbe Rashab in 5680 (1920).

He was old enough to see the Rebbe Rashab, he was born in Lubavitch in the year 5676. The Rebbe had already left Lubavitch a few months before. He did not see the Rebbe Rashab.

Rebbe Rashab
January 17, 2018 1:40 pm

He was 4 years old when the Rashab passed away.
He said himself he never saw the Rashab.

Their mother was an exceptional Aishes Chayil, a very noble and regal woman; mamosh a tzidkonis in her own right. She truly had the power to give brochos. Her name was Brocha, may her memory be blessed and cherished forever.
