Day 7 in Montreal!
25 January 2011
Day 7 of interviewing in Montreal brought us more fascinating material!
Here, Rabbi Moshe Feder points out to Mendy Alevsky who is who in a picture of bochurim in the Lubavitcher Yeshiva in Shanghai, China.
In the morning, we interviewed Rabbi Moshe Feder about his days as a Yeshiva student in the central Lubavitcher yeshiva in Otwock, Poland. He went into vivid detail how life was back then and how the students would be able to see the Previous Rebbe.
After the interview, Rabbi Feder then showed us his collection of pictures of the Previous Rebbe, as well as a few pictures he had of his days in Yeshiva. He pointed out to us who each person was and what they were like. Quite amazing to see what life was like back then!
Later in the evening, we trekked out to the home of Mr. & Mrs. Moshe Saltzburg. We got a bit of a scare when Mrs. Saltzburg told us about an hour before the interview that the heating wasn’t working and that it was 65 degrees inside the house. To my surprise, she told me “Don’t worry! We’ll get some space heaters and will turn on the fireplace and it will be fine!” When we got there, she told me that by divine providence right as we pulled up, the heating starting working again. Or her own words “You brought us the heat!”
Yechiel Cagen and Mr. & Mrs. Saltzburg reminiscing about their multiple visits to the Rebbe. Mr. Saltzburg told us how the Rebbe encouraged him to open a big and beautiful, Litvishe Yeshiva even though it would be direct competition to the Lubavitcher Yeshiva in Montreal.
Mr. Saltzburg spoke about his few times that he had yechidus with the Rebbe. He reminisced about the early days in Montreal (the early 1960s). One story that comes to mind is how the Rebbe encouraged him to open a big and beautiful, Litvishe Yeshiva even though it would be direct competition to the Lubavitcher Yeshiva in Montreal!
The Rebbe told him that it should even have air conditioning inside the Yeshiva, so more parents would send their children to learn there. He was extremely impressed because the Chassidim in Montreal pushed him not to open the Yeshiva. He told us that then he saw saw how the Rebbe was concerned for every Jew, not just his own Chassidim.
Here we are getting ready for an interview with Mr. Moshe Saltzburg. His big living room made for great shallow depth of field, creating a great picture.
