Re: [Cz-L] Bukowina Minhagim

Hi Reuven:

There is quite a bit about the Chassidim of Bukovina in Hugo Gold's
two volume work on the History of the Jews in the Bukowina. Most has
been translated (by the very generous Jerome Silverbush) and placed
online:

My paternal grandmother's family was from Radautz, and in New York I
found numerous examples of their association with Hager rabbis.
There was a Wiznitzer Shul in Radautz, and though to the best of my
knowledge my family was not Hasidic, I believe they thought highly of
the Wiznitzer rabbis. At least one branch of my Radautz family was
also from Wiznitz. The same was true of my Reisch family from
Sadagora - though not Hasidic to the best of my knowledge, I found
out from the current Sadagora Rebbe in B'nei B'rak that my
grandfather had once met with his father in the 1950s (during the
Rebbe's visit to New York) to ask for a special blessing for a
grandchild.

Best regards,
Bruce Reisch
