Can one buy a tail of a calf from a Goy to use for wrapping the Parshiyos of Tefillin, or because it is very hard to tell different tails from each other, we are worried that he might switch it for a nonkosher tail?

The ballroom of Oholei Torah was filled last night with people young and old, coming together to commemorate the life of Rabbi Zushe Wilhelm on the occasion of his shloshim.

Rabbi Wilhelm was a longtime educator, who dedicated his life to raising generations of chassidim, as well as a prolific author on a plethora of subjects in Judaism.

Those in attendance were in no doubt somehow affected by R’ Zushe’s dedication throughout his long career.

The crowd was addressed by a number of speakers, including Rabbi Simon Jacobson, Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky, Rabbi Wilhelm’s son in law Rabbi Yaakov Raskin, members of his immediate family, as well as others.

Following the event, those in attendance were presented with a beautiful teshura, which you can download here.

In the over 200-page publication are correspondence with the Rebbe MH”M, chidushei Torah which he wrote, stories about him, and much more.
