Re: [Cz-L] The Regal Way: The Life and Times of Rabbi Israel of Ruzhin

There seem to be two streams of people in this list on this topic ( Sadigura
Rizhin dynasty history anecdotes etc ) , those interested in it and those
who think it is not relevant.
I dont want to spam the list with a topic that others are not interested in,
however from the emails I have seen there are some who are, I am happy to
continue with this thread (like a weekly anecdote/story of Sadigura/Rizhin
dynasty) if the Moderators give it the green light?
Or should we take this topic off list?
Readers Your Thoughts?
