Description		    An invitation to spend an afternoon discussing the Admor and how to get him to Erez Israel - not knowing that the Admor had already perished in the Holocaust. The Admor, R. Mordecai b. Joshua Briszk (1884-1944) Admor of Tasnad was incinerated in the Auschwitz ovens on 11 Sivan, 5704 (Feb 6, 1944) while his students and disciples in Jerusalem believed him to still be among the living. Known as the MaHaRam Briszk he led a large yeshiva with many pupils. An erudite scholar, his advise was sought by many, his responsa highly respected. Printing on a volume of his responsa was begun in Tasnad in 1939 and never completed because of the Holocaust.
