Mendel Kulski (Paris, France) to Ro’hie Halperin (Buenos Aires, Argentina)
by Surie Herskovics

The Maple Street Shul. Inset: (R-L) Eli Blachman and Yisroel Karp.

Young Chassidim living in Crown Heights may not be aware of the fact that Crown Heights was once predominantly a Jewish neighborhood. When the Jews moved en- masse to other neighborhood, our Rebbe told his Chassidim not to take part in the exodus, but to remain in Crown Heights. It was a frightful position, but the Chassidim stayed.

“Give me it for free,” a group of young boys yells in Yiddish, giggling merrily, as their tzitzit strings dangle. The man standing in the ice cream truck grins down at them. “No, give me money,” he replies. The negotiation continues until an older sibling finally comes over with a wrinkled fistful of dollar bills.
