And still the residential dwelling that needed to be built adjacent to the study hall was not yet completed at that time. And in that same year — the year 5594 — Rabbi Aizik zichrono livracha passed away in Kremintchoug during Chanukah. And he left a will — and commanded to give to our anshei sh'lomaynu — in particular for the study hall — a large sum. And I traveled to Kremintchoug for this purpose with the local rav here. And there is much to tell about this. And the will was not upheld. And we received there only the silver holy vessels and a small sum. And at the end of that year — Rabbi Naftali worked on completing the construction of the residential dwelling for himself — which I had begun to build under the roof of our study hall. And he repaired the roof — tearing down the first roof and rebuilding it anew. But he did not complete the construction of his residential dwelling in our study hall mentioned above. And we prayed a second time in the year 5595 in the study hall. But the rest of the building was still not completed as mentioned.
