his great uncle Hershel was indeed a very special jew who went to great lengths to help many people , and was a talmid chochom and his children, granchildren and great grandchildren are all chasidishe yidden ……. his grand father reb nochum zalman was a one of a kind guy ….. anyone in melb will remember fondly his special way of saying kaddish … classic memories not to mention the cheek pinches

Thanks for the chizuk you gave Sholom Mordechai – please continue to go as often as you can!

Most prisoners would have gone batty and delirious out of the unknown fear of the future, but Sholom is handling this situation with a most stunning spiritual strength that beckons good angels to come and protect him….. May he create more and more good angels to fly him out of this senseless and unjust predicament!!!
