The Prime Minister of Eretz Yisroel, Binyomin Netanyahu and the President of Eretz Yisroel, Reuvan Rivlin have sent letters of comfort to the family of Rabbi Mordechai Shmuel Ashkenazi OBM, Chief Rabbi of Kfar Chabad.

They have each wrote about the greatness of Rabbi Ashkenazi being a big Talmid Chocham and an honest righteous scholar. Also he was a major part of the spreading of Torah, and the building of Chabad in Eretz Yisroel.

They each wished their condolences to the entire family, and finished off that they should “stay strong and continue in his ways”.
