of his followers (mainly the Chasidim of Rizhin<br />

and Radzin, who were active and prayed in<br />

Luboml's Great Shul), to come and act as rabbi<br />

together with R. London and R. Leybl Melamed<br />

(the dayanjudge).<br />

R. Oselka was young, full of energy, and<br />

learned in secular subjects, and as rabbi he left his<br />

impression on our town. He fulfilled his function<br />

as a rabbi until 1938, when he was called back to<br />

the city of Mogelnitsa to occupy the rabbinic<br />

chair after the death of his father, R. Gavriel<br />

Oselka.<br />

After the German occupation, all the Jews of<br />

Mogelnitsa were deported to the Warsaw Ghetto.<br />

There, R. Oselka died. The only one of his entire<br />

family to remain alive was his daughter, Broche<br />

Fuks, who went to Palestine just before World<br />

War II broke out. She lives in Tel Aviv with her<br />

family.
