His blessings made many childless couples bear children.
I see your grandfather’s mikvah reopened, it was in all the newspapers.
Yes, it did reopen this week after a $300,000 renovation which included many amazing upgrades and convinces. The first of its kind in Brooklyn, a 100% rain water mikvah.
The tevillah takes place in 100% rain water
Yes.
oh, Reb Boruch, this is your Zeida?
Chernobyl:
Yes.
I know several couples who had children after attending the mikvah. A recent honoree of an organization in this field was in fact blessed by Rav Amsel, she was childless for 18 years and had a boy in 9 months. All the mispallim of his shul know the story. The Rav and his Rebbitzen were quiet unassuming poalei yeshe’os – I’m sure a tefilah at their tzion while using the mikvah (I checked and the renovation did not remove the old mikvah – they only refurbished it) has to help.
Yechezkel Solomon Z’L oversaw the renovations
he was a good man!!!

My father speaks constantly about a Rav Amzel who was with him during the Holocaust. In France, Rabbi Zalman, cousin to the Rebbe, sent shluchim to provide Yiddishkiet for the children in hiding. He describes Rabbi Amsel as a shochet who was beardless, and he was like a father figure. Could this be the same Rav Amsel?
I found a picture of his mother’s tombstone on Find-A Grave: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/167692789/ida-juta-amsel/photo
Shalom. Would you know where Rabbi Yaakov Chaim Amsel lived in the USA. He was from Slovakia and was the author of sefer Nachlas Yaakov al Peirushim Leil Seder.
Thank you and a freilach Chanukah
