Harav Aharon Monsonigo, OB”M, Chief Rabbi of Morocco, passed away at the Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Yerushalayim early Tuesday, at the age of 90-years-old.
In his youth, he learned in France, and later served as Chief Rabbi and Dayan for a period of 50 years in Casablanca, Morocco.
Over the years, Rabbi Monsonigo has been in close contact with the Rebbe’s Shluchim in the country and their educational and outreach efforts, among them Rabbi Shlomo Matusof and Rabbi Leibel Raskin, of blessed memory, and – ybl”c – Rabbi Sholom Eidelman.
On Lag Ba’Omer 5750, Rabbi Monsonigo joined a delegation led by Jerusalem’s Chief Rabbi Shalom Mashash to visit the Rebbe.
The levayah will be held Tuesday afternoon and will proceed to Har Hamenuchos, where he will be buried.
He is survived by his sons, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and even a number of great-great-grandchildren, who continue his glorious path.
