Crownheights.info and Lubavitch Archives present this vintage photograph taken in Vilna, Lithuania before World War two. Can you identify any of the eight Chassidim posing in the picture?

Answer to last week’s photo in the extended article

Answer to last week’s photo:

A group of Merkos Shlichus bochurim, in the late 1960s, pose in front of a car that would bring Judaism to small Jewish communities. The sign tells of the activities – amongst others – with farmers, soldiers, schools and publications. The students in the picture from left to right are: Rabbis Yaakov Holtzman, Avraham Korf, Yitzchak Springer and Shlomo Kirsh.
