Hello all as a part time secretary of the grand rabbi of kreschniv I would like correct the past post. The fire was in the shull office where the Rebbe learns and meets congregates for meeting and blessing. It is not the rebba’s apt. nore did the rebba have anu personal cash there the number 1 reason is the rebba doesn’t have money to live let alone cash laying around. lol so please be corrected what was lost was many torah writeing of the rebba, most of his service clotheing, all his kaleim used during tisch and the many name of people the rebba was praying for. Any money that was there was to help the poor and the foundation funds for the new keshniv bais medrash that was collected to build a shull that can accomidate all the rebba’s followers , kollel and classes, prayer hall that can not fit in presant location at anyone time.
Fire on 118 hooper (kratchnef rabbis house) is under investigation. Large amount of $ is missing.
