He would fast every weekday and break his fast at around one or two o’clock in the morning after an exhausting session Tikkon Chatzos (mourning for the destruction of the Beis Hamikdosh, our holy Temple in Jerusalem.) A Life of Mesiras Nefesh in Communist Russia After the First World War, Reb Chaim Zanvel found himself in Russia now under Bolshevik tyranny and unlike many rabbis who ran away to freedom in other countries, he remained and devoted his life for the next half century to mesiras nefesh (physical self-sacrifice) in encouraging his fellow Jews to uphold whatever Yiddishkeit they could. 2|P ag e Kol Simcha Torah Gazette for Parshas Kedoshim 5784 Perhaps even more characteristic of the Ribinitzer was his commitment to daily toiveling (immersing) into the mikvah waters to purify himself [in order to come closer to the Holy One blessed be He], sometimes numerous different times in the same day. What made Reb Chaim Zanvel’s toiveling even more a memorable example of mesiras nefesh was the fact that the Soviet Communists outlawed mikvahs and the only the way the Ribinitzer Rebbe could immerse was to jump into the Dnieper River which was good in the summer. ******************************************************************
