  1. Today is not the Yahrtzeits of H’Rav Moshe Halberstam ZT”L it is on the 28th of Nissan which is on Wendesday.
    Today happens to be the Yahrtzeits of the last Satmar Rebbe H’Rav Moshe Teilelbaum Z”TL
    Maybe thats where you got confused,

  2. Hocking 101, Yuri A. Gagarin was an Oihev Yisroel, his first words after start were “Kosberg(Ayid that constructed engine turbines) did a great job”; one of the creators of the Soviet space program(way before Americans) was HoRav Mordechai Agrest(ztz’l?), musmach who was Shoimer Shabbos and KISUI HAROSH(!) in the special KGB research facility, etc.
