CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — Reb Boruch Kievman stood outside his Kingston Avenue shoe store today with two neon green signs dominating both the display windows proclaiming “going out of business – mega sale” in bold black letters.
“23 years I own this store” he said, and when asked what the future holds for the store he answered with a shrug of his shoulders, saying we will all find out. He then asked me if I needed a new pair of shoes, “All shoes outside $10 and all shoes inside $20” he said with a smile on his face. All the shoes outside were children’s sizes.

In 1994 I was living at home, in Hallandale, Florida (a city about 30 minutes north of Miami) when it was decided I would go to a yeshiva out of town, as there were no Chabad yeshivas in the area.
