At the Haneviim Boutique Hotel, in Meah Shearim, a Farbrengen and Seudas Mitzvah took place to mark the 25th yahrtzeit of Rabbi Moshe Weber, who passed away on the 18 Adar 5760 (2000).
The event was led by Mashpia Rabbi Ido Yitzchok Weber, with the participation of Admurim, Rabbonim, and Mashpi’im. Among them was Harav Kalman Meir Ber, the chief Rabbi of Israel.
For many years, Rabbi Moshe Weber would walk daily to the Kosel, braving the elements of the Yerushalayim’s scorching heat, and would stand for many hours and put on tefillin with many thousands of Jews. His legendary warmth and love was felt by every visitor to the Kosel.
R’ Moshe was known to many ba’alei teshuva and others who enjoyed his hospitality for Shabbos and Yom Tov meals in his modest home in Meah Shearim. R’ Moshe could not be limited to one yeshiva, he opened himself to all streams and to all Yidden. He was well-known in Meah Shearim as the “go-to” person if any individual wandered into the neighborhood looking for hospitality.
Less publicly, he distributed enormous sums of tzedakah to the city’s poor. It is known that, decades ago, the Rebbe said of him that he is one of the holiest and kindest people in the world.
He published several volumes of Torah insights in Yarim Moshe. There is an ongoing periodical of his teachings distributed weekly called Shemu V’Techi Nafshechem, which also offers for sale his audio recordings.
Following Reb Moshe’s passing on 18 Adar, 5760 (2000), Chabad established in his memory a newly renovated and expanded permanent tefillin booth at the Kosel.
