Chaim Kreiswirth

Just a quick story to, to, to illustrate this.

My great uncle was Rav Chaim Kreiswirth of Blessed Memory, and he was, uh, a brilliant, brilliant man.

After the war, many years after the war, he was walking in, in Jerusalem, and he met a man.

He asks him, where's he, where's he from? Tells him he's from this and this shtetl in, back in, in Europe.

He says, "One second, what's your name again?" Tells him his name.

He says, "Was your father so-and-so?" He says, "Yes." Now, this man that Rav Chaim Kreiswirth met was a very, very poor man.

He was a beggar collecting for charity, and Rav Chaim Kreiswirth was known as a person who was, who'd give a lot of charity.

He was a rabbi, and he would collect a tremendous amount of money and distribute it to orphans, to widows, to, to brides who were getting married, and he would give a tremendous amount of charity.
