Funeral services for Sol Rubin,
who died in Mexico City Tuesday,
were held Sunday afternoon. Rev.
Samuel Phillips officiated. Mr. Rubin
is survived by his widow, Mrs. Eva
Rubin, and one son, Joseph, of San
Antonio.
Forest Bennett arrived home Wed-
nesday from Austin to spend the
holidays with his parents.
and a miracle-worker, Rabbi Chaim
Rappaport, who was better known as
Reb Chaimunu, or the Dorohoiu
Zaddick.
Wonderful tales are told in Hassi-
die circles about this Reb Chaimunu.
His adherents have piles of miracle
stories about him. He has healed
incurable diseases. He has predicted
coming events, he has lifted the veil
from the future.
When Bukovina and Transylvania
were joined in Roumania the Doro-
hoiu Zaddik used to go visiting the
larger towns of these two1 provinces
and before long he counted there
many adherents who were filled with
wonder by his miracle working.
The rabbi used to come to Czerno-
witz every year and each time he had
to stay for several months. His Has-
sidin, mostly small shop-keepers, trad-
ers and artisans, would not let him
go sooner.
He never brought a big suite with
him. He came accompanied by only
his personal attendant and his eldest
son Mayerl.
On his last journey, his son was
not with him, and when his Hassidim
asked: Rabbi, where is your help,
your successor, your Mayerl? he
would cast down his eyes, sigh, and
reply sharply: It is not a subject
which coarse souls can understand.
You will not be able to grasp it.
Rumours have a way of spreading,
and before long it was passed from
mouth to mouth that Mayerl had tak-
en the wrong turning had taken to
secular studies and was preparing
for a doctorate of law. Soon it was
an open secret, and everywhere the
talk was of how the son of the Doro-
ohiu Zaddik, his heir who should have
been his successor, had gone away
from Judaism and was to set up as
a barrister in Czernowitz. The Doro-
hoiu Zaddik suddenly fell ill and be-
fore long he departed this life. There
was great mourning Qand weeping
amons his Hassidim, and he left no
successor. -
Suddenly Advocate Rappaport, the
son of the Dorohoiu Zaddik, arose one

morning and went to a close friend
and follower of his father’s, Berl
Rosenstock, a Czernowitz merchant,
and said to him: This night my father
the Dorohoiu Zaddik, peace be to his
memory, came to me in my dream,
took me by the hand and said to me:
My son, heir and K^ddish of mine,
the divine powers which you inherit-
ed from your father and his holy
ancestors must not be lost. From now
on you are called to help all those
who are lost, all those who will come
to you for help in sickness and sor-
row, in distress and want. I, your
father, command you to go and help
them hy your powers. It is the will
of Him who lives forever, and it is
the command of your father, Chaim
Ben Simeon. .
At sight of the barrister with his
flaring eyes, Rosenstock wAs over-
come with emotion and awe and he.
Cried out: Holy Zaddik; if you can
help, whom should you help sooner
than me, the slave of your’father.
You are right (he barrister rejoin-
ed. First one must help a Hassid of
Dorohoiu, but how can I help you?
With riches, Rosenstock answered. I
want my trade to grow, my credit to
increase, an dmy stores to hold more
goods. Good, the barrister doctomof
law-Zaddik replied. There is nothing
easier than that, I will do it.
On the following day Rosenstock
and he set out for Galatz Where he
was to work a miracle and obtain
huge credits for Rosenstock on the
Galatz market. He assured Rosen-
stock. that he could do it easily. The
tales about the new Rabbi grew and
with every day he won fresh follow-
ers. Crowds besieged his house,
pleading for help to improve their
lot, to cure a terrible disease, to ob-
tain advice with regard to a mar-
riage, and so forth, ami the young
Rappaport was ready to give his coun-
sel on all matters. He gave his be-
lievers cameos, papers and signs and
told them that everything would come
right as they desired.
He did not content himself with
this. He actually ordered marriages
and divorces. In one case, he told a
couple who had lived together happi-
ly for ten years or more, that they
must be separated immediately,
otherwise the wife’s father would not
survive the year. The terrified hus-
band and wife Vere immediately di-
vorced.
Rappaport saw to it that he was
well paid for his counsel. It is be-
lieved that he aci innulated hnndreHn
of thousands of lei. But many of
the things he advised did not turn
out successfully, and the disappointed
Hassidim begun to clamor that they
wanted their money back. Rappaport
refused to do anything of the kind
and at least some of his adherents
headed by Rosenstock reported the
facts to the Czernowitz police and he

is that he is an ordinary swindler.

music, addresses, and a playlet. Rab-
bi Solomon gave the opening ad-
dress. Rabbi J. Mazersky gave the

cance of Chanukah, “The Feast of
Lights.” Mr. Max Mazur, president
of the congregation, presented Mr. I.
J. Nayfach, past-president, and also
present vice president, with a gold
medal in appreciation of his loyal

nie Mazur. Following this, the child-

and Mrs. Willie Gelber. Young
Felix was destined for this world
for only four years, two months and
17 .days..' After, a brief illness of
one short week. he quietly crossed to
the great beyond. Unlike the blight-
ed blossom bud, young Felix did blos-
sum, although for only a brief mo-
ment it is true, but. his short exist-
ence was such a blessing to his dear
and tender parents and to all who
knew him. Young Felix was a beau-
tiful child; goodness and sweetness
personified. With his paging he left
grieved and heart broken loving pa-
rents and a host of relatives who will
suddenly find great emptiness in this
world as they.will look in vain for
the sweet and angelic affection and
aresses of that/little angel boys'
Everything that loving tender hands
and the best skill of the medical pro-
fession was done that could be done,
but to no avail. Little Felix came
and went away like some enchanted
dream. He will long linger in the
hearts and memory of those splendid
parents and relatives of his. As far as
outsiders are concerned, their hands
and hearts extend the deepest feel-
ings of sympathy to the parents, Wil-
lie and Fy, as they are affectionate-
ly known. The funeral services
were held Dec. 25‛at 3:30 p. m. at
the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Willie
Gelber. Rabbi Dr. Macht, of Waco,
officiated. The pallbearers were
Morris and Abe Kaplan, Leon Taub-
enhaus and Dr. Dansberg. The funer-
al procession was the longest ever
witnessed in Bryan. Jews and non-
Jews all turned out to extend their
sympathy to the bereaved parents.
Interment was made in the Jewish
cemetery and the little grave was
a bank of flowers of all sorts and
descriptions. The services as con-
ducted by Rabbi Macht were simple,
but beautiful and touching.
On Sunday night Rabbi Macht ad-
dressed the Bryan Jews at Temple
Freida. As a mark of esteem and
appreciation, Dr. Macht was present-
ed with a Hanukah gift by the con-
gregation.
