- Rabbi Pini Dunner once again travels down the side roads and into cul-de-sacs of the Jewish yesteryear with the help of exhaustive research - sharing countless anecdotes and previously unrevealed details. In Part 2 of “Rogues, Rascals, and Rapscallions”, Rabbi Dunner explores the rollercoaster life of a scion of the Nadvorna Hasidic dynasty, Rabbi Yitzchak Leifer, whose brush with the law in 1938 made international headlines. Who was Rabbi Yitzchak Leifer, and how did he end up as the center of attention for multiple law enforcement agencies? The answers to these questions, and the details of his life and the life of his family, will astound you.

Incredible story!
Fascinating story, especially given that I know some of the heirs and the Zilberman community in the Old City. Look forward to next episode.
fascinating! we need more
Thank you for this video. It was not only so informative but Wow! Please keep them coming! We love them.
Wonderful! cant wait for part 3
Your histories are such great listens and so well researched that I wouldn't mind hearing 2+ hour lectures. Thank you and a very big thank you to the sponsors of these series as well. Unrecorded History is lost.
Glad you like them! We have more on the way.
The information so wonderfully presented in this talk may partially explain the more recent alleged crimes of currently-living members of the Leifer family...
Question with no disrespect intended, why do these subjects not fall under the class of loshon hora.
That question is the main reason why ultra-Orthodox historians are not considered reliable.
Is it known if any of these 'bound-for-glory' seforim are still in circulation?
Let me know if you find one!
Wonderful presentation but please replace the colored night-club lighting
Great stuff! But I was expecting some elaboration on the “goldeneh rebbe “ angle
Interesting I get the vibes that you Despise Chassidim(although I do not think you had an experience like Yom Tov Zlotnick) Yet you are very proud of your wife’s chassidishe lineage
Thanks!
The most shocking thing about this for me is that he was able to reintegrate into haredi life and that the prominent members of that community acquiesced. He destroyed the booksellers life which was probably shortened because of his antics and of course drug trafficking destroys countless lives. As a haredi rabbi do you have any explanation for this attitude and do you support it?
He was a Rapscallion. Obviously it is not to be supported.
As to your first point, the Holocaust came and dwarfed the previous lives of even the worst of sinners. Most survivors were not intentional and malicious sinners. But the ones who were, their previous transgressions were swept under the rug. I am sure Gd kept track.
hi thanks for the great lecture. was by his grave today
You are mispronouncing it.
Gy in Hungarian is indeed ( roughly ) pronounced as dy.
Yasinia is a part of Transcarpathia, rather than of Maramureş.
I'm a bit confused on the presentation and conclusion. Besides trying to follow the family lineage but the conclusion is murky as presented. Was he a drug dealer, which means he destroyed people's lives or he was somebody unaware.... and what secret did he take to the grave? He took the fall for somebody else and yet he was living large.
R Yitzchak actions and publication could not have come at a worse time when anti-semitism was at the highest point we ever had in history. I can't imagine what an American gentile was thinking at that moment reading this
why is this לשון הרע allowed!!
Another footnote to the story can be the reason Yitzvhok got married at age 28 to a woman 5 yrs older than him with 4 children …… perhaps his troubled personality was apparent and no one wanted him for a son-in-law….. besides this desperate widow.
I will reveal more about the age difference between R Yitzchok and Gitele in my upcoming video. It's even crazier than I thought.
39:04 You mention Reb Boruch Rokach as the Skolya Rebbe. That’s incorrect; he was the Skula Rebbe. The Skolya Rebbe was Reb Dovid Yitzchak Eizik Rabinowitz zt”l (whose story, and the story of his family in America may fascinate you thoroughly.) The Skolya Rebbe, by-the-by, was a brother-in-law with the Zutchke Rebbe zt”l, and they were both named after their ancestor, Reb Eizikl Komarner, whom I’ve already seen you cover extensively in part 3. (I anxiously await the fourth part of this series; you left a humongous cliffhanger, Hollywood-style!)
Major correction on my part (and I choose not to just edit it into my first comment, because my mistake was unnecessary-commenting at 4AM comes with thin-ice warnings of cognizant impairment): the Skolya Rebbe and Zutchke Rebbe were first cousins-not brothers-in-law; their mothers were sisters, and scion’s of the Komarne dynasty, hence the same name*. Another rebbe who was a cousin, the son of another of those sisters, was the late Dinover Rebbe of Monsey.
*Originally, the Skolya Rebbe’s name had been Yitzchak Eizik, but when he was unwell as a youth, his father, Reb Boruch Pinchas, attached the name Dovid in Kabbalistic fashion, in order to effect healing.
