Rabbi Yehuda Chitrik, a Chabad-Lubavitch scholar known for his memory, died Tuesday in New York at 106. Chitrik was known for his legendary ability to recount tales. “He can recount stories word for word that he heard 50 years ago,” his great-grandson Eliezer Zalmanov told The New York Times in 2004.
