Se, dopo qualche tempo, ritorniamo a prenderlo in mano, ciò che ritroviamo non sono le parole esatte - che 24 non ricordiamo -, quanto lo stupore, l’immedesimazione, l’atmosfera, il riverbero dell’intelligenza o del modo pecu- liare in cui emozioni o conoscenze sono state trasmesse. Come scriveva Franz Kafka, un libro deve essere un’ascia 12 per il mare ghiacciato che è dentro di noi... Ciò accade per i romanzi, per la poesia e per la narrativa in generale. Può avvenire anche per un saggio? A volte sì, specie se si tratta di quelli di Amos Elon, intellettuale eclettico e 3822 fuori dal coro, nato a Vienna nel 1926 e emigrato in Israele nel 1933, storico e giornalista, un israeliano innamorato dell’Italia, Paese dove morì nel 2009. Incontrai Amos Elon nel 2001, in Toscana, viveva in un casale nella campagna vicino a Pistoia. Oggi come ieri, nel rileggerlo, mi col- piscono il suo rigore storico e la capacità di racconto, la prosa avvincente e profonda, capace di parlare all’anima e all’intelletto.

They continued their work once they reached Eretz Yisroel, where Reb Moshe did much for the good of the immigrants from the Soviet Union in general, and his brothers, the chassidim who lived in Nachalas Har Chabad, in particular. His wife, Mrs. Chaya Liba helped him in this, and would also host students from public schools for Shabbos and Yom Tov, as was done those years in Nachalas Har Chabad.

Shortly after, in 1956, I came to New York Ito learn at Yeshiva Torah Vodaas School. At that time, it was one of the biggest yeshivas in the world, and certainly the biggest yeshiva in North America with over two thousand students from grade one up until the highest level of Bais Midrash . It was situated in Williamsburg, Brooklyn — which was a big change from Montreal, let me tell you. I stayed at Torah Vodaas for two years and then I moved to the Lubavitch Yeshiva. But while I was still at Torah Vodaas, I heard the following story about the Frierdiker Rebbe , the Previous Rebbe of Lubavitch, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn. The occasion was the anniversary of the passing of a previous head of the yeshiva, Rabbi Shlomo Hyman, which was always observed with a major address to the of money to the bank, and the bank called in the loan. entire student body.

  • Craving Good News
    ב“ה An inspiring story for your Shabbos table ערב שבת פרשת תרומה, ג‘ אדר א‘, תשע״ט Erev Shabbat Parshat Terumah, February 8, 2019 HERE’S Issue 317 my STORY CRAVING Generously GOOD NEWS sponsored by the RABBI YESHUA HADAD Rabbi Lipsker continued to speak with them for another hour, and then they agreed to put on tefillin and to recite the afternoon prayers. When Rabbi Baruch saw this, he praised Rabbi Lipsker to the skies.
