Eli Chaim Carlebach adding: “Don’t forget my brother Shlomo, my twin,” who has the same information. In 1963, Reb Shlomo was still in touch with the Rebbe.

Interesting. Thank you.

Where was he a Rosh Yeshiva? and do his grandkids consider themselves close to chabad?

R’ Shlomo Zalman Aurbach (the nephew) was very close to Lubavitch as a bochur, and even in his later years when he was a rosh yeshiva in a Litvishe yeshiva, he would daven with Sidur Tehilas Hashem and Chabad Talis. He also made sure to buy letters in the children’s Sefer Torah for all his grandkids without them knowing.

I received the following message:

את ר’ ש”ז אויערבאך הכרתי באופן אישי היה יהודי שנחשב חסיד חב”ד והיה מתפלל בבית כנסת חב”ד בשכונת בית ישראל בירושלים ושימש כבעל תפילה בימים נוראים הרבה שנים.

איני יודע ההיסטוריה שלו, הייתי בגיל צעיר

However there are others there, which while they were close to Lubavitchers, were not Lubavitchers.

For instance Rav Yitzchok Yedidya Frenkel.

I would like to make note of a few things in regards to these new cards that were put out on the Sefer Chassidim.

1. It is very clear from numerous Family members, that not all cards are accurate, and one cannot clean all the time accurate historical information.

This is especially the case in regards to the cards written for Chassidim in Russia, where they were filled out by others in Israel.

However, the same thing is in regards to other places, where the cards were filled out by others.

2. it is not clear who sent in cards and who did not.

We have names of people like Aurbach (a nephew of Reb Shlomo Zalman), and on the other hand my grandfather Reb Zalman Klieman is not in this book.

Neither are many Chassidim from Montreal or Crown heights to be found in these cards.

3. Strangely a number of entries were updated years later. For instance, My wife’s grandfather, Reb Bentzion Hackner, sent in an entry as a Bochur in Chof Gimmul, and then again sent in an update in Tof Shin Mem.

Many of the cards are written by the same person, writing on behalf of the Chassidim in Russia. Their address being just “Russia”.

Reb Moshe Elya Gerlitzky wrote he learns in Tomchei Temimim till Moshiach will come.

In it he signs “For my brother, Zusia Wilmovsky”.

He described himself as unemployed, although, of course, he had a long career as a shochet ubodek.
