I WAS READING IN THE JEWISH TRIBUNE 29 JUNE 2017
REBBETZIN HADASSA DUNNER WRITES AN OBITUARY ABOUT HER BROTHER IN LAW SHIMMI
I NEW HIM LONGER THEN REBBETZIN HADASSA I MUST SAY EVERYTHING SHE SAYS IS TRUE
AS I GREW UP WITH HIM, THE DUNNERS LIVED IN 69 ALLERTON ROAD AND WE LIVED IN 53 QUEEN ELIZABETH'S WALK AS I AND MY TWIN BROTHER ARE THE SAME AGE AND WE PLAYED WITH HIM AS A NORMAL CHILD WHO COULD NOT TALK CLEARLY BUT WE LEARNED TO UNDERSTAND HIM
BY THE WAY THE HOLY RABBI AND REBBETZEN TREATING HIM AS NORMAL AS POSSIBLE AND THE ABOVE THE NORMAL LOVE THEY GAVE HIM, SO DID THE CHILDREN WHO PLAYED WITH HIM.
I KNOW OF LOTS OF PEOPLE TO DAY WHO ARE NOT NORMAL,
THEY WERE RATHER CLEAVER AS CHILDREN JUST THE PARENTS AND TEACHERS DID NOT GIVE THEM THE LOVE AND RESPECT LIKE THE RABBI AND THE REBBETZEN GAVE THERE SON SHIMMI.
THEY ARE CONSIDERED TO DAY NOT NORMAL, WHEN I SAY TO PEOPLE TO DAY THEY WERE NORMAL CHILDREN JUST PEOPLE AND PARENTS DID NOT GIVE THEM LOVE AND RESPECT.
WHEN EVER I MET HIM HE USED TO HUG AND KISS ME, SOME ONE SAID TO ME ONCE, HE RECOGNIZES HIS OWN KIND AND THAT I AS MAD AS HE IS, I WAS PROUD TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH A HOLY NESHAMA THAT HE WAS AS THE CHAZON EISH SAYS.
HE WAS FULL OF LOVE FOR HIS FELLOW HUMAN AND WOULD EXPRESS THAT,
G-D MADE ME AND MADE HIM I AM NO MORE THAN HIM.
THE MISTAKE IN OUR LIVES IS WE HAVE TO FEEL MORE, BY THE PEOPLE WE ASSOCIATE WITH.
