Interesting Viznitz-Bnei Brak video I found.

Since the Langsner side of the equation has its roots somewhat in Viznitz, I thought that some of you might find a recent Viznitzer video I found on line interesting.

Some Purim Pics while we were still in Pittsburgh

Before setting sail for Cleveland....our last Purim in Pittsburgh.

Chanuka in New York

So, in an effort to keep everyone updated.... we spent a very nice Shabbos Chanuka by my parents - Shabsy and his children with Shaindy and her family along with Menachem and myself. we had not seen each other since Succos, so it was really wonderful to spend time with each other again. Of course, Nachum and his family, being in Cleveland, could not be with us and we missed them very much....
Motzei Shabbos, Shaindy went to her in-laws for a Chanuka party and the rest of us went to my cousin, Shifra Yurowitz, the daughter of Faigy (Langsner) Aryeh(my father's sister) in Passaic, New Jersey. And what a lovely time we had! Most of the Aryeh siblings were there with their families, and even Yaakov Meir Langsner (son of David Langsner my father's brother) and his wife who live in Passaic came over. Apparently, Yechiel the oldest son and his wife, Yocheved an their children were in Antwerp and then Zurich! So some of you there in Belgium got to enjoy meeting them, although Yechiel was very ill with pneumonia. He is staying in Zurich by his wife's family until he's better and allowed to travel.
It was also Faigy and Ouriel's 40th wedding anniversary and Shifra's daughters made a beautiful slide show with pictures, music and comments commemorating their lives and children. We were all so impressed with their talent!
I took it upon myself to take Shabsy's digital camera to take pictures of everyone in order to post it on the blog for everyone in Belgium to enjoy. Now the hard part will be for him to email or download the pictures so we can actually post them! I tried to take pictures of everyone, but at a certain point the photo card on his camera became full so unfortunately some did not have their picture taken. I was unable to get a picture of Aunt Faigy and Uncle Oorie together, nor could i manage to get Shifra, her husband and their children to pose together for me - they all managed to run away every time i got one or two together! Oh well. Hopefully we'll have those pictures up on the blog soon and we can claim to have moved slightly beyond the stone age with our new technical knowledge :)
By the way, Shaindy does not have internet access at her home (decreed by the Lakewood schools as ossur), but she did manage to access the blog at my parent's home and tried to post a comment, although i don't see it anywhere.... she'll try to post whenever she's able to, but sends her love to everyone out there!
Talk to you all soon with pictures hopefully!
Our best wishes for a Freilichin Chanukah!
