Later came Dr. Abraham Shrcntzcl and before the World War I, Dr. David Rothfeld and Dr. Yaacov Shrcntzcl. Before the Hcrzl Zionist movement was founded there were already in Boibcrke two Zionist activists. Mechel Matizcs and Shmuel Schleidcr. They joined the movement to collect money for the settling of Jews in Erctz Israel. With the appearance of Dr. Theodor Hcrzl on the Zionist scene, there was also organized in Boiberkc a Zionist society by the name of "Ahavath Zion". Shmuel Schleidcr was its first president.** After Ha'Rav Simche Witelcs, Ha’Rav Ben-jamin Galcr, served as the spiritual ...

    ... half buried in the ground and with small, nar-row windows. As people were always passing there on their way to the Clois, the "architect" who plan-ned the house solved this problem by putting the windows almost on ground level, so that the only way the passers-by could peep inside was by lying down on the ground. A shoemaker had once lived there, one Michel "Mondrosh" (a real wise guy), so called because of his tricks and clowning. After he left the shtetl to go abroad, nothing was remcm-bered either of him or his notorious tricks, more’s the pity. Another tumble-down hut is worth mentioning, the one at the end of the street which led to the "Rink" — the "Beigel-bakcrin’s" house. It was in connection with this structure that we first heard the term "boy-fclik" i.e., dangerous to live ...

    ... incident with the rolls of cloth, Saul’s mother made him gloves. With charac-teristic pettiness, the privilege of collecting the cotton waste was after a time taken away and reserved to the tailor’s son Shoil. It would seem that this was connected with Saul’s leaving this tailor, and working, shortly before his thirteenth birthday, as "mchlmester" (flour measurer) on matzos for Rivvy Moshele’s. When it was arranged for Saul to return to Itzik for a second year after that Passover, it was with the understanding that he would receive fifty greitzer weekly for his work finishing by hand sewing what could not be done on the sewing machine. This was for his own clothes (he was able to buy himself a coat, hat and shoes; his food came from his own parents). In addition at the following "Pesach ...
