On January 1, 1837, a devastating earthquake hit the upper Galilee and southern Lebanon, destroying towns, villages, property and roads, disrupting commerce and claiming the lives of thousands of victims. The ancient and mystical city of Tzfas was essentially destroyed at the epicenter of the earthquake’s damage, with most of its citizens killed, and the remainder being rendered homeless and penniless in the wake of this natural disaster. The traumatic event left a decisive impact on the trajectory of the Old Yishuv, with the wider social, economic and religious ramifications of this displacement being felt for decades.

Ironic how Alphabet is fact-checking you
Shabbat shalom
On this subject, I heartily recommend a track I discovered by accident (it appeared in my 'recommended' feed) by a British band called UNIT. The track is A Tribute To The Israeli Defence Force and it is excellent - tuneful and forceful without being bombastic combined with a lovely lyric. I know next to nothing about the group but on investigation I see they've recorded a whole batch of Jewish related tracks such as Pesach, Yom Kippur, Bar Mitzvah, Israel Is Real, The 613 Mitzvot and probably others I don’t know about yet. Some of them feature Rabbi Moshe Bryski which is definitely a recommendation in itself.
29:00 Real start.
Apology accepted, now what?
What a Great person Yosef Shlomo Kahaneman was. His love and devotion can be felt through his works even today. Thank you so much for this interesting story. (i live in Ponevesh, Lithuania and i pass the Yeshiva building almost every day on my way to work). Shalom

Thank you so much for doing these .. I have so much to catch up on
Todah rabbah
Thanks for mentioning my grandfathers story, needs to be remembered. Jay Beilis
Just the intro and I want to kill myself
A video on the Jewish community in Rouen pre 1066 that came to England with William would be interesting. Not much information online
The Rebbe was a Fervent Zionist! He was an active Militant ideologue of the " Aitzel group" type and Jabotinsky/Begin type! He veered totally with this new viewpoint from the Clear-cut anti Zionistic militancy of the Holy Rashab and the original Agudas yisroel headed by Rav Dushinky and prior to that Rav Sonnenfeld and prior to that Reb Yehoshah lib Diskin (the father of the original Neturei Karta )His Rav Sonnefeld's Rebbe viewpoints I dont care if REB Yoel Kahan produced 29 pages ! to try to reconcile the old RASHAB anti zionist stance to the Rebbes Mendels actions and positions throughout his life The crux of his argument in 29 pages being that somehow ": CHASIDUS" is not subject to the hashkofa of yester year!! This is Re b Yoel Kahans own efforts as a" committed Chossid of the Rebbe " to reconcile the two incompatible and totally opposite ways .
Where is Part 2 ?
I didn't know much of these details thank you for this
I think you may be undercounting Chmielnicki. I believe there is something from the lubavitcher Rebbe on this. Something to the affect that tach v'tat was worse than the Holocaust in today's numbers. (Meaning that although Chmielnicki 'only' killed 1-2 hundred thousand it's affect on Jews at the time and the fact that it's so far back it's affect is fealt more today. What he's was saying basically (as I understand it) is that there would be more Jews today because from 1600s untill now much more Jews would be born or in other words exponential growth) I hope the way I'm saying this is at least slightly understood...
Another point in history that always hits me hard. But I've still never understood why people care so much about if the rav supported the uprising (in any way) or not
Growing up having heard so much about Reb Mendel the one thing I'll say is that the podcast did not do justice to this great mans life. And certainly not about his life behind the iron curtain.
Ohud barak and all politicians that cane after him which even considered offering up Jerusalem proves Chabads view on Zionism. The state of Israel is not a Jewish (as the Jewish religion) idea.
Unfortunately there isn't much of an appetite for the subject and not much has been published in English
Whenever I hear this man speak I get sad
This is an awesome podcast! Is it published somewhere else? Like why don't more people know about this
The Hungarian name of the town Szatmár is believed to come from the personal name Zotmar, as the 13th-century Gesta Hungarorum gives the name of the 10th-century fortified settlement at the site of today's Satu Mare as castrum Zotmar ("Zotmar's fort").[6] The name Satu Mare, which means "great village" in Romanian, was used for the first time by the priest Moise Sora Novac in the 19th century.[7] An older Romanian name, Sătmar, was formally replaced by the current one in 1925.[8
Satu mare means "the big village" 😊 in Romanian
Great podcaast
Thank you so much for covering Rabbi Jacob Joseph. He was my 3xs Great Grand Uncle
What is Mr. Herzka’s email address please?
the great Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum was the messiah - Zionist = Satan
satmar prides itself on its intolerance big deal about saint-marie
Satmar has the first and biggest bikkur Cholim organization in the New York area. If you or a close relative had to be hospitalized you’d be humbled by their behavior once you see it up close. He taught this as a cornerstone of Judaism.
Whatever you call him, his anit-zionism disqualifies him from any semblance of leadership
Your ignorance of Judaism disqualifies you from commenting on all things Jewish. He was a sage in Torah and holy in person. If your looking for leadership you might feel more comfortable with someone like yogi Berra or general Sherman 😂.
Just attended Rosh Hashannah at Satmar in Manchester with Re b Horrowitz, it was a very elevating experience
Sadly, the common and ignorant trope that the name Satu Mare is translated as St. Mary is here continued and perpetuated, even daring to question why the leadership of this precious community would allow this. Hopefully, we can put this trope to rest along with the many other misconceptions commonly spread by ignorance. The name SATU MARE is Romanian for a "Great City!"
His 2nd wife, Rebbetzin Fayge was from my city in Poland - Czestochowa (Tchenstochov). Her father was the Czestochowa Rebbe. He was burried at the Jewish cemetery in Czestochowa but she brought him to the Jewish cemetery in New Jersey. Their home back in Czestochowa, Poland was always open for poor people where people would get a place to sleep, were able to get something to eat... This continued here in America. If you eat kosher and if you ever found yourself in hospital, you will see that there is a special room in each hospital filled with free kosher food special for anyone who needs food. This was started by Rebbetzin Fayge of Satmar from Czestochowa, Poland.
May Hashem have mercy on his soul

@nachmanuman3376 HASHEM will NOT have mercy on your soul(if there is one)
Keep up the good work
great episode
The chasam sofer was against teaching general knowledge in yeshivas before one has filled up with Shas and poskim. This doesn't mean he was against general knowledge in principle.
Most of our family hail from satmar on all sides. they all wore shtreimlech and spoke strictly Yiddish at home. We still BH keep all traditions.
Absolute legend
Excellent video, very informative. I grew up in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, now in Beersheva, Israel.
Found it
Part 2 coming?
After seeing how the community treated him, why didn't he go back to Villna? Or why didn't he make a Tielung (separation) and make his own Kehilla?
Wonderful lecture. worth listening.
Why did you not pan the yeshiva building? Why did you decide not to show us what the building looks like?
He didn’t mention the reason brought in היום יום why Chabad doesn’t learn is that it מוסיף חיות and you don’t want to add vitality to that time. I don’t think it’s fair of him to lump it in with the “klipos” reason he mentions as it is substantially different, even if also a spiritual explanation. There’s also an obvious special place the non-jews give to the evening of the 24, with the mass etc. so the unpleasantness of the night, in particular, needs to be countered, more than the day etc.
Thank you, Mrs Berger and family for this unique presentation. History not shared is lost to everyone.
Keep up the good work. Please post some of the other podcasts that aren't on RUclips here. Yasher koach
Satu Mare means Great Village. It has nothing to do with S. Mary. Also Teitelbaum came from a Romanian town Sighetu Marmatiei that was under hungarian administration.
The kolels in EI are not the "blame" of the Chazon Ish but rather due to his credit!
