Eclectic dabbler pursuing the modest goal of omniscience. Striving for Hasidic annihilation of self. Aramaic/Yiddish preferred but Heb/Eng are okay, I guess

Going to start referring more regularly to negel vasser as "exorcising evil" (1966)

[S.D. Homnick @querynotfound]

@Banstock48 כן, וזה דווח בהרחבה בכל העיתונים בשעתו. וזה לא היה כה תקדימי; היו עוד כמה מקרים של פגישות בין רבנים אורתודוקסיים (מקומיים וכן מעבר לים) לנשיאי ארה"ב בתקופה זו (ויש לזכור שככל שמקדימים בזמן היה קצת יותר קל לקבל פגישה עם נשיאי ארה"ב)

100 years ago, this leading Polish rabbi personally petitioned President Coolidge regarding the plight of agunos in Europe who were impacted by the draconian 1924 immigration quotas

[S.D. Homnick @querynotfound]

@safier Indeed, this detail is attested to in the JTA report:

"Rabbi Lipshitz addressed the president in French, which was translated by the Ambassador"

For more context on how the immigration quotas exacerbated the plight of agunos in Europe at this time, see this recent article by Prof. Jonathan Sarna

@shvlman Maybe R. Chaim Vital's 'Chezyonos'/autobiographical diary

@minhagim @arinohem @DBashIdeas @zushamusic @FreifeldRacheli Well do you know any Homnicks?

[S.D. Homnick @querynotfound]

@arinohem Great, now are you going to set up leinings in the communities that need it? :)

@mizrahi_israel And through some other configuration of the letters the gimmel and ches would results in the 1 of 1901

[S.D. Homnick @querynotfound]

@mizrahi_israel I have found Yiddish reports from 1901 though that mention him as the author of this publication. But there could have been multiple runs, etc.

[S.D. Homnick @querynotfound]

@mizrahi_israel A thread on this topic :)

[S.D. Homnick @querynotfound]

In the middle of this video (2:40 mark), @mizrahi_israel shows @DBashIdeas an instance of heavy-handed Russian censorship of a passage in a sefer with the use of tar.

The reason? Mizrahi says "marital issues."

But what does that mean?

Let's investigate.

@hasidicus New

[S.D. Homnick @querynotfound]

@shaulros @curatorWH Perhaps in English. Here's an instance in Hebrew from 1929, where it doubles as inspiration for the name of a column

@GilStudent "כמ"ש באג"ב"
"as is recorded in Agudat Betulah"

This is of course a hallucination and RYE is referencing his Igeres Bikores

[S.D. Homnick @querynotfound]

@ezalmanov @bentziavtzon A futer(fas) is a sheath etc.

[S.D. Homnick @querynotfound]

@Joshua_Skootsky Have seen that tournament mentioned numerous times in the current context
