Rebbe naming proposal


(check the passports)

Name them as you see them. We can solve a lot of issue in the Chasidic community if we start calling Rebbes by the names of towns they actually have something to do with. The Lubavitcher will become Dnepropetrovsker (was he actually ever in Lubavitch?), Bobovers will be Boro Parker and Fort Hamiltoner or something, Bostoner sons will be Brookliners, future Satmarers will be Williamsburgers (funny). This geographic adjustments alleviate a lot of the succession strife and can enable a smooth transitions. Didn�t Liozner had the idea first, but the problem with him was that he was never in Liozna. Brazilianer have a nice ring to it though:-)
