Talk:Avraham Brandwein

Untitled
The article - rightly, as far as I know, though I don't know the relationship to the dynasty of the "Strettiner" Rebbes with surname Flam -- labels Brandwein "the Admor [=Rebbe] of Stretten". Stretten, Stretin, etc are all transcriptions of the Yiddish form of Stratyn, a shtetl on the outskirts of the small Ukrainian city of Rohatyn. The dynasty derived from Uri ("Irale") of Strelisk an exceptional emphasis on sincerity of kavvanah in prayer -- and Czech author, Ba'al Tshuva and friend of Kafka, Jiří Langer, says that who has not heard the Streteners daven has never known the meaning of piety. R. Avraham Brandwein seems to have learned from the Ashlag school a re-emphasis on theoretical study of Kabbalah.

I think that we need to start an article on Stretener Chasidus and collate all material relating to the Brandwein (and maybe Flam) Rebbes and their relatives (e.g. Naftule Brandwein the Klezmer clarinettist) under this. UnknownSage (talk) 17:43, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Stretener Rebbes: family names
R. Avraham (shlita) and his father (ztz"l), R. Yehuda ('The Rabbi of the Histadrut'), are both surnamed Brandwein. The famous klezmer clarinetist, Naftule Brandwein, was a cousin of some degree.

The other names associated with the Stretener dynasty are Flam (also spelled Flaum) and Langner. The Fla(u)m and Langner Rebbes are all associated with North America: mostly Canada, both Montréal and Toronto - though a head of the dynasty surnamed Flam died in 2003 in New York.--UnknownSage (talk) 10:43, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Peacock template removed
I've removed the peacocks from the article. Most were unattached to any factual information, making their removal straightforward. I've reviewed the article as it stands now and I feel that it was appropriate to remove the peacock template. If you disagree with that decision, please comment here so I can make further adjustments, or attempt to fix the issues yourself.

Thanks! Skeletor3000 (talk) 22:16, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
