Camera file from the 2013 Kolomya expedition (22 May 2013), one of twelve consecutive files, with no interviewee named in the index. A man answers Kerler's questions and talks with him about rebbes and Hasidic courts, the Lubavitcher succession, and why God did not stop the killings. He then recounts his own wartime and postwar religious life and his knowledge of Yiddish. A second voice joins briefly.
Kerler asks whether the informant has heard of the Ribnitser (Ribnitza) rebbe. The informant and a second speaker mention several rebbes, including a Stefaneshter (?) rebbe and a rich Rizhiner rebbe, and say there were many rebbes but few remain. The talk turns to the Lubavitcher rebbe and whether a successor will be appointed, with differing views on whether he has really gone. Kerler comments on Chabad followers and on the practical question of who can be censured.
The conversation continues about whether anyone can know what time or year will bring and about whose God it is, with a reference to Romanians. Kerler asks why God did not help during the killings, and they discuss the Stefaneshter (?) rebbe, who left no children, and the succession of rebbes. They also touch on a great tsadik from the 1950s and on the Betashaner (?) rebbe, with the informant saying he never visited there.
Kerler asks about stories of the Baal Shem Tov and about the Vilna Gaon, and the informant answers briefly. He recounts that he was seventeen before the war and could not understand much then. Under the Soviets he had no prayer book, tallit or tefillin and was not allowed to observe, and he turned to the prayer book only when conditions eased. He says he did not forget Yiddish and spoke it with his sister in Eretz Israel, and he describes hard work breaking stones in a quarry. The talk ends with a discussion of how well different people know, understand and speak Yiddish.
