May the Almighty comfort you among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.
Felt so much for the Rebbe since Gimel Tammuz. Wanted his grandchildren to learn chasidus and spent hours making sure to accomplish this, funded other mosdos and privately gave advice to many shluchim, from small to big issues. A giant of a mind and a heart.
A giant of a man who wanted so much for his grandchildren to learn chasidus and spent much time investing in them. Open to other shluchim with his brilliant mind, great heart and often with a helping check.
