Re: [Cz-L] Ten Thousand Chassidim (?!) and Theater Greats in Czernowitz!

I don't worry where they accommodated all the Chassidim. They're so used
to large events. Here in Israel 210 great grand children to a woman who
celebrated her 97th. birthday gathered in a hotel. Mind she started with 11
children only - amazing isn't it -
What caught my eye were the intellectual thieves
"von guten Familien!!??" who manged to steal a lot money just "for the fun
of it" and guess what? all Jewish boys"!!
