    Boruch dayan ha-emes- from a wonderful Lubavitch family with brothers, sons, nephews and nieces making the Rebbe proud. How many familes have been so successful worldwide spreading the Rebbe’s word.

    After a hundred and twenty years when a Bal Habos will come Lemaala – and he will be asked why did you not do more in Torah and Mitzvos- why didn’t you give more Tzedako -why didn’t you do more in Hafatzas Umayanos – Why didn’t you you do more for the Rebbe’s Shechuna – why didn’t you do more for the Shluchim …
    and he will answer – " I didn’t have enough time – I was in business – I was busy …
    and Beis din Shel Maala will say – " but look at Reb Mendel – he was a businessman too – and yet look at what he accomplished"

    We miss him terribly – A Shliach in Businessman’s clothing

    Boruch Dayan Emes, and kos tanchumin especially to my long separated but far from forgotten friends the Treitels in Montreal.

    When did this happen? Avremel S was in front of me on line at a store here in CH somewhere around 8.30 last night and everything seemed as usual with him.

    :) just to clarify – by last night I meant tonight or le yud daled nisan – I did not expect the comment to be approved and go up so fast.

  • Itzik_s

    No, it is not of Yisroel Shemtov – I was at the levaya this morning and saw Yisroel, who does not look like that pic at all – the pic is not focused or otherwise deficient but it is a pic of Reb Mendel Shemtov AH.
