A photo of the Rogatchover can be found on http://www.shmais.com/images/largepics/left_603.jpg I don't know if it can be put on wikipedia or not. --Eliezer | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€ 03:11, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The website is run by a fellow named Levi; I know him personaly. The photo itself is probably in the public domain. I've seen a better picture of the Rogatchover when I was a kid, I'll try to find it online. Daykart 15:21, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Here you are. http://www.rumbula.org/images/rabbi1.jpg Can anyone verify the following stories? Apparently, the Rogatchover had long hair because he felt physical pain when the barber tried to cut his hair. Or that he did not want to go without a Yarmulkah even for the five minutes of a haircut? Daykart 15:26, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

That image is clearly from a newspaper or something. JFW | T@lk 23:39, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Rabbinic Ordination

Besides the Lubavitcher Rebbe; Rabbi Mordche Savitsky of Boston and a brother-in-law of Rabbi Shimon Shkop (his name escapes me at the moment; but he was a Rabbi in the United States and retired to Eretz Yisroel in old age, in the late 1950's) also received Semicha from the Rogetchover.

Can anyone bring a source that the Lubavitcher Rebbe received Semicha from the Rogetchover? Itzse 23:10, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is writen in Hayom Yom. in the begining there is a Biography of all the Rabeyim. in the bio of the Rebbe (not written by the Rebbe) it mentions that in 1925 he met the Rogatchover and received semicha from him Shlomke 00:05, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
