Acc to wikipedia Funeral of Sholem Aleichem had 250k in NY in 1916.
So are we comparing now Gedolim to Lehavdil secular Kofrim who had a bigger Levaye?? OMG.
The discussion is what was the biggest Levaye of a Gudol in America.

And that's wikipedia's quoted source lol
I guess the assumption is that if the NYT says 100k it must've been 250k...

  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Actually no, haven't you been following? He only had 100k, so it wasn't bigger.

I would suggest R'Yaakov's funeral, but according to this it had a measly 20,000 people - https://www.jta.org/1986/03/12/archive/rav-yaakov-kamenetzky-dead-at-95

About 25 years ago, I met his parents at an event to get college students to campaign for his and other Israeli POWs release. Sadly his father was niftar 10 years ago, without having the closure of burying his son. May both of them rest in peace.

Oh, we can never forget the despicable actions of the French (government) throughout the ordeal. Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité is a wonderful slogan, but doesn't trump inherent antisemitism.

Given this background, is all the more reason why I wrote
