17th of Adar: Yahrtzeit of the late Rov of Crown Heights

Reb Z.S. on the right talking to known chosid Reb Hendel LIberman

Today 17 of Adar was the Yartzeit of Reb Zamel Shimon Devorkin who served as the rav of crown heights for many years and was a real chassidisher yid.

i just recently heard this story about him, when he was very sick laying in bed one motzei shabbos, he turned to the family member that was there for his company and said "there has just been a court case in beis din shel ma'ale if i should pass away tonight or next week, and they paskend that it should be next week", exactly a week later on motzei shabbos ha passed away.
