The Muzayer Rebbe Shlita lighting the Menorah

The Muzayer Rebbe Shlita has had very close ties with many members of the Diamond Family. I thought it would be nice to post a video fo the Rebbe bentching chanukkah licht. The Muzayer Rebbe Shlita lighting the Menorah in Congreagation Yeshurin on the 7th night of Chanukah 5767. The Rebbe Shlita is a nephew of the Satmar Rebbe (Reb Yoel) Zy"u.

Family History

How many of us really know the Family's history. From the beginnings in Kolemaya, Poland to Vienna to DP Camps in France to Williamsburg to Crown Heights to Brooklyn to now.....

Sitting last night at the Chortkover Rebbe's Yor Tzeit Seuda (hosted as always by Shulem and Nuti)--on whose account Opa Diamond did not return to Poland prior to WWII-- I heard for the first time that Opa Diamond had three shoe/boot factories in Vienna. When the Nazi's came in they confiscated all the work boots.

I think it is important to try and preserve whatever we can from the Family's history and I would ask anyone who has a bit of the history to either post it here or send it to me for posting.

End of an Era

As many of you may know by now, the Big House has been sold.

No doubt, the house holds many memories for the family and I would ask that everyone post and comment on them.

In addition, plans are underway to have one final bash--a BBQ-- just like in the old days. Details to follow.

I thought this would be an appropriate picture to start the blog with.
