Just thinking of rebetzin ztl’s son, The Bobover Rav shlita, dancing mitzvah tantz last night at the Big bobover wedding brings tears to my eyes. The Rav shlita knew how sick his mother was and was very emotional by mitzvah tantz!

My Dear Bobover Reb. You were a Reb. What a Reb. You were there for all of us. You always came to all of our simchas and by you being there bought such simcha to our simchas. In Bobov you were a Reb. You noticed anybody who was there for the first time and welcomed them so graciously. For those of us who were part of Bobov you always showed interest in us.

Unfortunately you were unable to be there for us

physically, for the last few years, do to your illness. I am sure that now that you are in the next world. You will once again be able to be there for us. For those of us who were part of Bobov I am sure you still have an interest in us and will pray for us, you knowing what we need. For those who you did not so well you will also inter seed on their behalf. Thank you for being my Reb. I could not have had a more special Reb. then you.

A Bobover

It mamash brings up the pain of her Hailiger husband’s petirah as well.

She is the mother of our kehilla and nebech suffered for so many years.

Her great grandson got married last night in Bes Medresh and we now turn over those same benches on which we danced.

Oy Luni.

When you hear of a death and you think about the Tzaros in the world, everything else seems so trivial, and you wonder ” How can a dynasty like Bobov have machlokes? How can it be?” I find this very painful…

lebediger – when your mother is very sick, you try to find as many zechusim as possible. if that happens to be the mitzvah of misameach chussen v’kaleh, then that’s the appropiate thing to do. anyone who is remotely familiar with the Bashe”t’s teachings knows knows that best way to be po’el yeshuos is thru simche.

{Bobov chosid (shoita) when a mother is very very sick, you don’t go around and dance, you should be nex to her}

Watch your language! Why shouldnt the Rav Shlita attened his niece’s wedding? Get on in life! You know better then the Rav?

And BTW the Rav came to the chupa straight from the hospital and the Rav went back to the Hospital right after the chupa. The Rav came back later to dance mitzvah tantz!!! I have never seen such a emotional Mitzvah tantz in my life!

Bobov Chosid, shame on you. Calling your Rebbe Shloime’s einiklich, and your Rebbe Naftule’s two son-in-laws by their first name disqualifies you as a Bobover Chosid. Where did you get such bad middos?

The Bobover Rebbe RM”d’s wife is a STEP gradaughter of the Nifteres. Which means – nothing! Not related at all!

my report
my report

the mitah came to the beis hamedrish around 9.10 pm it was carried in to shul, interestingly diferent then by the leviiyes of the last 2 rebbes the peroches was not taken down. the only son (ruv shlita) was maspid it was very different then we expected knowing the minhag in bobov that there are no hespidim, also the air in most people expecially the young was of bewilderance as if who exactly are we melave now.

i guess that may be the reason the ruv spoke so long (almost 25 minutes) he told the young oilim about his mother who was sick the last 20 years, of her midos and her dedication to the holy ruv ztzl. the ruv was reading some letter his father wrote to his mother (the ruv was a gifted writer, and often wrote poems to his wife and children.. was mechaber the famous kinnus we say tisha buv)

conclusion was some heartful good by”s from a child to his only mother while also mentioning his oldest and younggest sisters that dedicated their time takeing care of his mother, explaining that the other daughters all lived over seas and thus hard to be there all the time.

the only thing the ruv did not metion was the kneidel form… but i guess i date myself this goes back 30-40 years (and yes i hope i do bring a smile to the readers that do remember.. gite tzeiten geven)

should she be a meilitz yoisher for klal yisroel

He said that she should be a melitza yeshorah for the oldest, youngest and those overseas; thus deliberately and calculatingly omitting his middle sister Goldberger. A role model for Bobov?

So Reb Naftule was her step son, and Reb Mordche Duvid her step grandson, on this I think we agree. But what was Reb Naftule to Reb Shloime? Ah shtiff kind? That’s what I tried to ask.
