Rabbi Mordecai Solomon Friedman, known as the Rabbi of Bujany, and scion of the Sadigora rabbinical family, arrived on the Majestic on Monday. He was greeted at the pier by a delegation of his Chassidim.
A special delegate was sent by the Rabbi’s admirers to meet him at Cherbourg. The Rabbi of Bujany is a cousin of Rabbi Isaac Friedman who died in New York last week.
