From Shanghai to Chicago - The Story of Rebbetzin Chaya Small | Meaningful People #57

From 1938-1939, thousands of Central European Jews streamed into the Chinese city of Shanghai after the Nazi “Anschluss,” or annexation of Austria by Germany in March 1938. By 1941 Polish Jewish refugees started to join them, traveling via Lithuania, Siberia, and finally Japan. By 1943, over 16,500 Jewish refugees were living in Shanghai. One of these refugees was Chaya. A person who takes the values of the torah into her home, her shul and her real estate brokering company.

Wow what an amazing interview!! Love the lessons Reb. Small imparts and her story is amazing! Thank you!!

[@Arel613]

Thank you for this lovely episode. I gained a lot. Rebbetzin Chaya seems like a wonderful companion to have a conversation with. I first heard the podcast and am delighted to have found the video.

[@MeaningfulPeople]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jeffglanstein4489]

So cool! You got Rebbetzin Small. It is 9:30 at night and my wife was able to watch. She is normally sleeping now. But Rebbetzin Small? This episode was a gem! I am going to call the Rebbetzin tomorrow and tell her how we enjoyed it together. We know her a long time, me, almost 40 years. My wife, since she moved to Chicago early 1986. You didn't really hear all of the yichus because that is not what she is about, Her real yichus is her midos tovos and ayin tov, and that you should have got. Yasher koach for this episode especially.

We need to teach history in our schools

[@ep5346]

This was next level. So impactful and deeply moving. Her devotion to hakodosh Baruch hu is tangible and other worldly.

[@Life_42]

Valuable woman!

[@SarahAvi]

This is so good

[@jacklanger]

What a legend.

[@michellelansky4490]

Is she married to R Moshe's nephew......is that the family?

[@michellelansky4490]

That's our zaidy......R Shaya Shimanovitz

[@judithseedsmiller4682]

This was amazing. I am trying to find her book. What is the title please?

[@dannycohn8512]

Hey could you maby interview some of the few surviving talmidey chachomim who learnt in Europe before the war

[@michellelansky4490]

Sad as it is I don't think anyone is left ......it's just too many years.....to be 20 in 1940 would have to be 100 now.

[@jeffglanstein4489]

This is a very sad request. I knew many people who survived the Holocaust and Europe. But they have all gone to their eternal reward. We have to cling to the Talmudei Chochamim that we have now. They are our mesorah.
