Heikel Velvel Alperovich

Here is what the famed Rabbi Landau of Bnai Brak wrote about him: "...And there makes an appearance, Cheikel Welwel, with him his youngest son Yakov Yoseleh, a devoted Lubavitch Hasid. His expression gleams from the splendor of Sabbath.

. Reb Cheikel Welwel (Zeev) Alperovich

He was busy with Torah and Hasidut, which he studied deeply . Despite the fact that he was a merchant and for his business he would travel through the villages, he would always find time to learn Torah. The Christian farmers would tell that Vulfka would sit all night by the furnace and pray. This is how they understood it. Every day he would have a designated lesson in the Rambam, which he studied constantly. He was also one of the people who went to Lubavitch once a year and was amongst their Hasidim. He had a very important position in the community and would join my father in collecting for the Kimha dPisha. He was a very pleasant man and his heart was open to all generosity.Cheikel Welwel was the brother-in-law of Reuven Malisker. It is very strange that in a short time both families passed away. Reb Reuven and his wife and Reb Heikl and his wife. Reb Heikl Velvel passed away all of a sudden: he went to sleep and never woke up. His wife passed away a week before, and shortly after they passed away their home was destroyed by fire.
