Mr. Zvi Bamberger
21 February 2011
Today we visited Mr. Zvi Bamberger in Long Beach, NY. He comes from the illustrious family of the Wurtzberger Rabbonim. The Previous Rebbe writes about how he visited Wurtzberg with the Rebbe Rashab, and the Gadlus of his Zaide. Actually a cute anecdote. See Sefer Hasichos attached.
Although he came in shaking, and not knowing what to expect, he describes how the Rebbe put him right at ease.
His family’s first encounter with our Rebbe was in 1953 when they came to NY for his brother’s wedding. They were then living in Denmark, and his father was the Rov in a Shul there, and they were struggling terribly to get a Minyan, they were quite fed up with the whole responsibility, and they already wanted to move to the US.
–
They knew of the Rebbe and came to get his advice. When they mentioned the problem, the Rebbe said “Why not give it to me? I have a nice young man who i can send there to open a Yeshiva. You provide the beds, etc for the dormitory, and I will provide the Rosh Yeshiva and Talmdidm.” V’kach Hava. They returned to Copenhagen and made the necessary arrangements, and shortly after the that the Yeshiva opened up. He says that he remembers the Yeshivah opening in 1955, and the boys learning there.
–
When the Rebbe turned 75, he felt he wanted to present a gift. What can you give a Rebbe that he will appreciate? He decided to present to the Rebbe a Sefer and a Kovetz (a book of scholarly discourse and a small paperback publication) that he had just personally published of his grandfather’s Torah insights. He was delighted to recieve a letter back in the mail with the Rebbe’s handwritten note, with an interesting request about an interesting custom. See attached.
–
He told us about some more VERY interesting Yechidus’n as well.
Mr. Zvi Bamberger shares his impressions of the Rebbe.
The Rebbe asked him what language would you like to speak? We can do English, Yiddish, Lashon Hakodesh, German or French!
The Rebbe asks him to publicize the custom mentioned in the "Kovetz" on page 39.
The aforementioned "Kovetz". The reference is in the footnote. Click on the picture to magnify.
