Wow, wow, WOW Alan! You know I’m a huge fan of your work but this post topped them all! LOVE what your wrote about Oteil and Friends, but that section about wearing your great-grandfather’s 100+ year old Tallis on Yom Kippur! Just amazing and incredible - it really hit deep in my Yiddushe Neshama (for those of you non-Jewish “Yiddush/Jewish soul”) literally a day after a very meaningful Yom Kippur!
Thank you so much again for posting something SO meaningful, about our beloved ABBband Jewish families respectively!
That was an all around fantastic read. Oteil and friends. But more importantly the history of your Great Grandfather's pursuit to persevere history. there is not to many young people in todays society interested in history let alone perseveraring it.
Thanks for sharing the Oteil show story, sounds like an amazing evening and I wish I could watch it. Also really loved the moving story about your family history.

Three comments on subjects miles apart with Your story the commonality - so well interwoven into Your history.
Your blessings are many and Your mission is clear. Your vocation is obviously the stirring of memories easily lost in time.
You do this well, Alan.
ThankYou for sharing Your histories.
This was wonderful. My your great-grandfather Isidor's memory be a blessing and continue to insire your research, archive digging and writing.
