Yes I git to Adath Yeshurun. I don’t know if I met Yekke’s grandparents. I was there quite a bit in the late 70s. In fact I was engaged to a girl from Yeoville, her father was a retail jeweler…watchmaker by trade. But they were actually Litvaks arriving in Joburg via England in the 1930s. My friends who I always stayed with lived a good half hour walk from Yeoville and davened at the Kollel in those days, also a long walk. His wife was from CT and he was a native Saffer.
It is very strange, as the last single Ms. CTL is about to announce her engagement to a 20 something young man from South Africa. When we met him recently, a bit of Jewish geography elicited the fact that i had met his grandparents in April 1978 in Rosemont.
