If I’m not mistaken Reb BenZion Turk was the first person to be named ater him.
Couldn-t hold myself in
Do you mention every “Big Chosid”’s Yohrtzeit?
One of two options: Either your related or you were paid!
I don’t mean to be harsh you know, but there were greater Chassidim then him that have lived even in the past 100 years, so why does one get special mention over the others, i don’t mind it, but at least pu the other Yohrtzeits’ also?
So i know already what the responses will be:
“Where’s your ahavas yisroel”, “why do you have to negative”, “is this all you have to say for a jew who did …..?”, or “whats the problem, are you jealous?” . Yes, we all are hard at taking criticism, but Halevay, in this community we would be as hard for us to give criticism as it is to accept, as i am demonstrating right this moment.
G-d bless democracy, G-d bless CH.info!
Thank you!
