YISROEL BOREKH HALEVI YOFIS (BRIF)

YISROEL BOREKH HALEVI YOFIS (BRIF)

            He was the author of Mayse alfes, mayn zeydes hagode (Alfes’s tale, my grandfather Haggadah), “a pogrom on the afikomen”—“a practical Haggadah which my old grandfather, R. Yisroel, used to use at the seder and frequently at night throughout the year, a true mirror of Jewish life.”  A rhyming parody (Vilna, 1908), 40 pp.
