A short background and reflections. Bennett Avenue, where it all took place.

If you are not from our community: Mr. Jacob Bruer was the son of Rav Bruer. He was a beloved educator and was the principal for many yers. He was a student of the famed Wurzburg Seminary. He made Aliyah and spent his last twenty years in Jerusalem.

  From home movies of the day I entered Brith Avraham Avinu.

A wedding from among Rav Breuer’s family. Takes place in the shul.

There is no sound. Here we are playing stickball on Bennett Avenue. Mr. Breuer o.b.m.  is seen talking with Rabbi Raphael Wallerstien hblch’t. At the end a student is accosted by his classmates for waving a NY Met’s hat.

Short clip shown at the dinner features a young Jerry Bechhofer Z’l. Mrs. Pinkover was the gym teacher in Frankfurt. Several members of the Realschule faculty continued in NY. Can anyone name a few? Suggested names by viewers: Tante Nettie and Dr. Spier obm.
