THE RABBI'S DESK
Our Neighbors are
Living in Fear
The ship left from Le Havre, France in 1921. On board was a two-year-old boy from Wein (Vienna), Austria. The family had owned a dry goods store in Vienna but conditions after the “War to end all wars” was dismal. Much of the family had fought proudly for the Emperor in the calvary but now the empire was disintegrating into chaos and fractured pieces. For Yehuda Leib and Perl (Leon & Pauline) taking only what they could carry and leaving behind family, friends, community, and heading off an ocean away to a new land, new language, and into the unknown was a fateful choice. They arrived at Ellis Island with the torch of freedom of the Statue of Liberty astride New York harbor welcoming them. Yes, it was because America was willing to take them in that I am here today. That two-year-old boy was my grandfather, Max Singer z”l and Leon & Pauline z”l were my great grandparents. I have my grandfather’s ship ticket and every once in a while, I look at the ship manifest where they were listed to remind myself just how fortunate and blessed I am.
