Kindness

When you think of Rabbi Bukiet, you think of a man who cared deeply about his students wellbeing. He had to deal with students who were complicated, and had very difficult childhoods. He had to navigate situations of extreme and convoluted accusations and conspiracy theories of a generation of Holocaust survivors and their children. It is he who nevertheless tried his best to keep these students in the school, unless they were detrimental to the fabric of Yiddishkeit. Many owe their lives to his patience and kindness.

He was a sweet man. I used to go to his shul in East Flatbush on shabbos. It was a special experience. When you stepped into his Shul it was like a time machine transporting you back to a different era. Rabbi Bukiet himself would make us a chulent an kugel every week.If I am not mistaken Lubabavitcher yeshiva in America was founded in his Shul. He was a good man his children and grandchildren prove it over and over.

I had the privilege to know Rabbi Bukiet as a student and a friend of the family. Rabbi Bukiet was not only a big talmid chacham, he cared about people and had a big heart. Many people looked up to him and supported his efforts as he maintained a shul in East Flatbush with great mesiras nefesh.
Tonight, 27 Teves, is his 20th yahrzeit.
