  1. How long does that "donating chai" thing go back, incidentally?

  2. Chasidism only dates from the end of the last century, and as it is destitute of every high moral idea, it has no future.

    Ha!

  4. His son Reb Aaaron Halberstam who served as Rabbi in the Sanz vicinity pronounced a ban on fellow who refused to obey a Din Torah ruling, pronouncing a ban was prohibited by the government so that person gave him in to the authorities.

    It is known that Reb Aaron was let out to attend his father's Levaya (funeral), and was attending the event guarded with prison police, and than sat shivah in prison.
