Ohio Rabbi’s Books Tied to Holocaust Survivors

Rabbi Aryeh Kaltmann with his three sons, Yitzi, 19, Mendy, 16, and Shea, 14, in their Columbus, Ohio home.

As Holocaust survivors languished in displacement camps around Europe at the close of World War II, the U.S. Army gave them some of their first tangible connections to their faith since before the war: passages from the Talmud.

Pesach Chumros: Are Eggplants Chometz?

by Tamar Rotem – Haaretz

Books with pages spread wide open, perched on balcony railings and shedding imaginary crumbs of not-kosher-for Passover food. Shelves covered in new paper, and masses of aluminum foil on kitchen counters and the stovetop. Signs on doors warning “Do not bring in hametz” – referring to leavened products – with several exclamation marks. All of these were signs in my childhood that Passover was approaching. Above all I remember the near-hysteria that overtook the women and girls in the house, which mounted as the holiday grew nearer while they pursued to the death every stain and crumb.

Rabbi Bukiet’s Advice and Vertlach on Hagadah

by Dovid Zaklikowski – Chabad.org

Rabbi Chaim Meir Bukiet

I will never forget the scene. My grandfather, Rabbi Chaim Meir Bukiet, a Talmudic scholar, was speaking in Lexington, Mass., where my uncle Rabbi Alter Bukiet is rabbi. The invitation for the event told of an entertainer and the guest speaker, my grandfather, a Polish immigrant who’s English was on the rocky side. However, it was clear that many came just to hear him speak. He was beloved in the community, to many serving as fatherly figure. They loved his honesty, his sincerity and his words of wisdom.
