    Noah Witman was my great Uncle and taught me everything I needed to learn to succeed at my Bar Mitzvah. A great man.

    that is amazing!
    my grandfather was a winnipeg son of Jewish immigrants who fled from Russia.
    this video was so exciting and so sad for me.
    I felt that I finally touched a little of my frandpa's life which I never have before.
    sad, because he's no longer with us.
    sad of what has become of Jewdaism in the diaspora -
    just another culture, another community, the opposite of what it should be.
    we have lostso manyJews on the way - those who were taken away from us, and those who left us, many due to the failiour of educating Torah in the way of the children's souls, the comidian, David Steinberg touced a percise and sore point. the numbers of lostJews are increasing and it is heartbreaking.
    I thank Go-d and my Grandparents that cameto Israel, even before the state and commited themselves to the land and the Torah, and gave us the vision that so many bretherens of ours have lost. I hope to be able to maintain it myself for the next generations.
    thank you for uploading this video.

    There's always been strong parallels between the Jewish and Ukrainian people of Winnipeg.❤

    I am not Jewish, but growing up in Winnipeg my best friends
    were Jewish and to this day I will defend the Jewish people
    even if I would have to go to Israel to pick up arms to do so, my
    Jewish friends were there with me through thick and thin,
    and we can all learn a lot from the Jewish people.

    Farm settling "...was to hard for them, they quit the land..."

      Moosimin is definitely not good farmland. 4:18, even the horse was skin & bones.
