Reply To: MR. Mendlowitz

R. Shrage Feivel was a tzaddik nistar. He refused to be called anything other than Mr. Mendlowitz. Once at a function the emcee called him up to speak and introduced him as Rabbi S. F. Mendlowitz. He refused to come to the podium despite repeatedly being called as such. It was only after the emcee consented to introduce him as “Mr. Mendlowitz” did he come up to speak.
