Dovi SafierGUEST
Rachel Mordechai was maybe one of three or four figures that I've ever tracked during that era that all of his children remained religious.

He had another son, the only child, his other children were killed in the Holocaust, but he had one son who outlived him, who was a Rav in Winthrop, Massachusetts, who outlived him by a couple of years, but he never married, so he left.
Dovi SafierGUEST
Rachel Mordechai left nobody behind, no family at all.

Joshua LownGUEST
It used to be a series of around five islands, um, that became landfilled over time to create this neighborhood.
Joshua LownGUEST
Uh, it's surrounded on most sides by water, both the Boston Harbor, um, as well as the Chelsea Creek separates it from Chelsea, and then it connects to Winthrop through a very small little land bridge and then a, uh, revere to the north via the target area right up over there by Suffolk Downs.
Joshua LownGUEST
Yeah, it's a, it's sort of an island, uh, in and of itself.
Joshua LownGUEST
It's a space that's easy to forget.
