There seems to be a BasMelech impostor on YeshivaWorld. I'm not a member.<BR/><BR/>The funny thing is, I went there to see what you were talking about and hers is exactly the type of comment I'd make -- one of my pet peeves is when "yesheevish" people use nicknames for people, places, events, things, etc, just kind of assuming that everyone knows what they're talking about.<BR/><BR/>My favorite is "The Rosh Yeshiva." As in, "The Rosh Yeshiva says..." Because it's SO obvious which is THE yeshiva!<BR/><BR/>Wait, even above that on my "peeves" list is the use of yiddishisms in public printed material when there is an English word that would do just fine. (some things can't be translated. But some things can.) I have nothing against yiddish publications, but if you're printing something for the English-reading public, then the English-reading public should be able to understand it. I'm pretty "heimish" and I still don't understand half of the italicized items in certain Jewish English (?) newspapers.<BR/><BR/>Hm, fresh fodder for a new rant post :PBas~Melechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01511197551248863790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603613747739329910.post-33346567540534285922007-10-22T00:13:00.000-04:002007-10-22T00:13:00.000-04:00Yes, I see, other commenters at YW have given you ...Yes, I see, other commenters at YW have given you his full name and Yichus.<BR/>( - GG )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603613747739329910.post-26637123062088542892007-10-21T17:44:00.000-04:002007-10-21T17:44:00.000-04:00I couldn't respond to your question concerning the...I couldn't respond to your question concerning the Mushayer Rebbe, HoRav Rubin, ZT"L, which you asked at TheYeshivaWorld.com <BR/>(because I forgot my YW username) <BR/>so I am responding here: <BR/>His late wife, Rebbetzin Chana Rubin, Z"L, authored a book (published by Artscroll) in which she detailed their escape from the Nazis and much of his life.<BR/>The title is "The Final Solution is Life" (and you can purchase it from Artscroll, online). <BR/><BR/>I think she wrote that her husband's Shul is on Ocean Parkway near Avenue N or O.<BR/><BR/>Actually, the Satmar Rebbe ZT"L (who was Niftor more than 20 years ago) was her uncle (and became his uncle when they married).<BR/><BR/>Although I have never seen the Mushayer Rebbe ZT"L, <BR/>I have seen their son, The Ropshitzer Rebbe, Shit"a, in his Shul in Boro Park.<BR/>He is descended from the original Ropshitzer Rebbe - who lived almost 200 years ago, and didn't want to take the same title as his father during his father's lifetime, so he took the title of this illustrious forebear.<BR/>However, he is still named HoRav Rubin (like his father) and not HoRav Horowitz (the name of the original Ropshitzer Rebbe).<BR/><BR/>(I am not Chasidish, and I couldn't tell you any of this if I hadn't read Rebbetzin Rubin's fascinating book.)<BR/><BR/>(from Gut Gezugt)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603613747739329910.post-52633522802122848262007-10-20T21:02:00.000-04:002007-10-20T21:02:00.000-04:00Thanks, all!
