0080 - R' Zalman Vileinkin 'Remember Gemara'

00:01 My Zayde, Reb Zalman Velankin, who was the Rebbe's Melamed, when he came to America, the Joint sent him to Cleveland, so he lived in Cleveland for a few years. But then the Cheshbon was that it's much better for him if he moves to New York. The problem was that in Cleveland, he would get what they called relief. It was the government would sup-- would support the people who were not able to support themselves, especially he was paralyzed. But in New York, the laws were different, and it was harder to get the relief, et cetera, et cetera. So there was a question what to do, how to go about it. So I remember my father was on Yechidus, and I was actually together with my father on Yechidus, so I remember that Yechidus. And my father spoke to the Rebbe, mentioned this to the Rebbe what to do. So the Rebbe said, in the office from the government, from the relief. That there's a person, his name is Friedman, and he's the son of the Bayaner Rebbe, and he works in that office over there. So the Rebbe said . He said you should tell him that I asked that he should help, and you could tell him that I still remembered the Bleiter Gemara, the pages Gemara that I learned with him. So the Rebbe here said clearly that he remembers what he learned with my grandfather.
