We might be closer related than you think. Vyelpoil in Flatbush is a cousin from a few generations back. Reb Hertz Frankel ztl who worked in Satmar was a closer cousin to us (and DH is the only one who identifies as Chassidish in his family).


Hi cousin!
Were related to R Hertz Frankel as well

I don't think so. Because, the vyelpoil family is pretty big and they're very chasidish.

Shalsheles HaZahav? DH was looking for it for years and then he gave a ride to someone who was in our town collecting and it turns out he was the author of that Sefer. It was super exciting!

DH grew up knowing that he was from Chassidim but his family wasn't specifically Chassidish and he grew up in a small Frum community. He became Chassidish on his own. We were fortunate to visit Reb Hertz ztl who, was a first cousin to GFIL, not too long before he passed away. And I have the cutest little Shlomo Zalman at my side right now Bh, named for the Vylepoiler Zaide.

Crazy ironic twist to the story is that my father grew up right near Frankels in Flatbush. And I grew up pretty Litvish. My father gets a laugh out of it.

Anyone else here an einikel of "the" Bubby Shifra Miriam a"h?

(and for those who aren't quite sure what to do with this thread, here's what I know to be true about yichus. It's just a bunch of zeroes... You're the"1" You need to make something of yourself for it to be meaningful, for your "1" to preceed the zeroes. And you can be the start of a yichus that future generations will identify with pride)
