If it weren’t for the immigrant story, hundreds of students’ lives in Malden would not be quite the same. They would never have met one of the most caring, one of the most giving, one of the most loving people ever to have existed, my sister Barbara (Levine) Scibelli, Administrative Assistant to the Principal at Malden High School.

Long story short, one wintry evening in 1917, my grandfather’s brother Sam overheard a conversation amongst a group of “drunken Cossacks” in a tavern on the outskirts of town (Kovno Gobanya, Lithuania) – rumors of war and forced conscription. Being from a long line of pacifists who abhor violence (insert smiley face), Sam fled to America. My grandfather Harry (Hersch Julius) followed shortly after, arriving in Boston from Liverpool, England, on the Andania. Harry settled in the West End of Boston first on North Russell Street, then in Mattapan not far from the legendary G&G Deli on Blue Hill Ave. Sam became a tailor and set up shop in Union Square, Somerville.

He came over as a shoemaker but switched careers to become a truck driver after he learned how to drive, distributing food and vegetables by horse and buggy first before purchasing a truck and starting his own business. On the side, he drove a cab. A very religious man, Harry studied Torah at the North Russell Street Shul, where he also sang in the choir. He had vocal chops! I remember many weekends at the house on Charles Street being entertained by Grandpa, who felt he was the second coming of Yossele Rosenblatt. In 1928 Meyer Wolf (a baker from Brookline) and Jacob Goldberg (a real estate agent from Boston) attested that Harry was of “good moral character” and signed the affidavit for his naturalization papers. The rest is history, as they say. The immigrant story, isn’t it a wonderful thing? Copyrighted material previously published in Banker & Tradesman/The Commercial Record, a weekly trade newspaper.
