We are deeply saddened to report on the passing of Rabbi Shmuel Moshe Benjamin, OBM, a longtime and beloved teacher at Oholei Torah for the past 25 years, who staunchly stood by his wife Devorah’s side, as she ran Keren Simchas Chosson V’Kalla. He passed away on Shabbos, 5 Kislev, 5784.
He was 57.
Originally from Sydney, Australia, Rabbi Benjamin went to Torah Or in Eretz Yisrael, and with the influence of Oholei Torah Talmidei Shluchim to Sydney, Australia he came to Lubavitch and learned at Yeshiva Gedolah in Melbourne, as well as in 770.
With a constant smile on his face, Rabbi Benjamin was a most devoted Mechanech of Oholei Torah Pre1A for twenty-five years, educating hundreds of Talmidim, imbuing a love of Yiddishkeit and laying strong foundations for them during those formative years.
With unparalleled dedication, Rabbi Benjamin taught his many Talmidim the Aleph Beis with total kedusha and purity, permeating the lessons with Yiras Shomayim and Chassidishkeit, and ensuring each student had the tools they needed to succeed in their subsequent years of Chinuch.
Rabbi Benjamin cherished each and every Talmid, keeping a connection with many of them years later. Talmidim fondly remembers his animated and engaging lessons, as well as the deep care he had for each and every one of his students.
With Rabbi Benjamin’s encouragement and full support, he staunchly stood by his wife Devorah’s side, as she ran Keren Simchas Chosson V’Kalla, an organization that provides necessary funds and support for Chassanim and Kallahs.
In recent years, despite his medical treatments, Rabbi Benjamin came into his job at Oholei Torah at all possible times.
He is survived by his wife Devorah and their children, Chaya and Yosef.
He is also survived by his parents, Avigdor Chaim and Freida Rachel, and his brothers, Jonathan and Adam, as well as his in-laws, Pinchas and Mina Gold.
