I WAS READING THE AMAZING ARTICLE IN THE
HAMODIA 21 FEBRUARY 2013.
IT WAS ABOUT REB YISRAEL ( BRUDY ) STERN Z"L.
I WELL REMEMBER THE STORY OF HARAV ITZIKEL OF PSHEVORSK
AND THE PURIM RAV TISCH.
BRUDY STERN BROUGHT JOY TO HASHEM AND PEOPLE.
SPECIALLY WITH THE PURIM SHPIEL IN
THE STOKE NEWINGTON TOWN HALL.
MY WIFE WHO AT THAT TIME DID NOT UNDERSTAND YIDDISH WELL
SAID JUST TO SEE ALL THE PEOPLE LEAVING THE HALL HAPPY
WAS SOMETHING SHE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER.
WE ARE AGAIN REMINDED OF THE PURIM SHPIEL IN LAST WEEKS,
JEWISH TRIBUNE ARCHIVES 28 FEBRUARY 2013 .TO-DAY
THERE IS ALSO AN ORGANISATION THAT GOES IN BRUDY STERNS'
FOOTSTEPS, TRYING TO MAKE SICK PEOPLE HAPPY.
BUT WE ALL NEED A BIT OF A GOOD LAUGHTER ! !
I WRITE THESE WORDS TO THE ORGANISERS OF SHMYCHEL.
HARAV SHLOMO BAUMGARTEN ZT"L SAID
THERE ARE MANY SURVIVORS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE TERRIBLE HOLOCAUST
AND ARE BROKEN AND SHATTERED .
THIS IS THE ONLY TIME OF THE YEAR THEY ACTUALLY LAUGH.
YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO STOP AND TAKE AWAY THIS BIT OF JOY
THAT THEY HAVE IN THEIR LIVES.
I ASK SHMYCHEL, PLEASE BRING BACK THE PURIM SHPIEL,
WE NEED IT ! !
