Legacy of Slabodka by Reuven Grossman
Reb Mordechai Shulman married Chaia Miryam, the daughter of Rabbi Isaac Sher of Slobodka. Her mother was the daughter of Rabbi Nosson Hirsh Finkel ( The Saba from Slobodka). Reb Mordechai replaced his father in law as one of the heads of the Yeshiva of Slobodka ( in Kovno) after his father in law left to establish a Yeshiva in Eretz Israel. Hard times fell on the Yeshiva during the late 1930s’ and Reb Mordechai traveled to America in the hopes of finding a place for the Yeshiva in the United States. As the war started in 1939 he was trying to get his family to join him in America, but this was not to be…..In 1940 the Soviets annexed Lithuania and did not let Lithuania citizens leave the region other than exiling them to Siberia.
