Just recently, the Kaliver Rebbe who lives in Jerusalem was visiting the Belzer Rebbe who also lives in Jerusalem. In fact, both main Synagogues of the two chassidic groups are not too far away from each other.
All pictures HERE !
The Kaliver Rebbe is the only chassidic Rebbe without a beard, as he was imprisoned in Auschwitz and tortured.
"The Kaliver Rebbe is the only chassidic Rebbe without a beard, as he was imprisoned in Auschwitz and tortured." More specifically, his beard was burnt by the Nazis.
ReplyDeleteHe is a very nice Rebbe. I truelly like his approach (eventhough I know that some of my fellow Lubavitcher will critisize me for having said something good about a non-Lubavitcher Rebbe :-))
I read once that castration is the cause of the Kaliver rebbes hairless face.Does he have children?

ReplyDeleteKaliv (Jerusalem) used to have a great website until some time ago, and I don't know why they took it off the net. A pity !
However, on the website, the Kaliver Rebbe very much concentrated on describing how much he suffered during the Holocaust.
As far as I understood and heard at many different places, his former beard was burnt by the Nazis.
And, as far as I know, the Kaliver Rebbe does not have children.
