A Sabbath Evening With a
Chasidic Rabbi

again Sabbath evening at the table
of "Chasidic" rabbi, and gladly ac-
cepted the invitation of one of his in
innate followers, to be present at this
occasion.
Friday evening at the appointed
time started for the residence of the
rabbi. 1t was impossible to get any
where near it. Several thousand people
were there ahead of me, crowding the
Avenue and adjoining streets. With
the aid of my police card and after a
hard struggle, l finally reached his
house. But here again, it was abso-
lutely impossible to gain admittance.
The little house was crowded to ca
pacity. ! have never seen so many
people in one little house as | saw
that evening-nor have / ever seen
people so eager and anxious for a
mere glimpse at face as was that
crowd there to see the Rabbits face. I
learned there that the Rabbi would
hold his first table in the vestry rooms
of the Mieletzer Synagogue. 1t re-
quired the utmost exertion to walk
over the two short blocks from the
rabbits residence to the synagogue,
and there, only the pull" of an en-
tourage of the Rabbits got me past
the officer, who would not permit
any one else in because the synagogue
was overcrowded.
What a picturesque gathering Of
Jews there was in the synagogue I
never knew that we had in New York
such patriarchal looking Jews, with
