The many descendants of Rabbi Yaakov Yehuda “JJ” Hecht OBM gathered at the Ohel Chabad Lubavitch Center in Queens, NY to mark the yartzeit and share memories of the legendary chossid and activist.
The family also recited prayers at the gravesite of Rebbetzin Chave Hecht OBM.
During the event, a new Sefer Torah was begun by Rabbi Shea Hecht, which will be completed in honor of his upcoming 70th birthday.
A Siyum and Seudah followed.







































































































































LOVED RABBI JJ HECHT!!! WHAT A DINAMO!!!!
Arichas Yomim to the whole family, a giant of a man whom I owe my whole Shimush in Rabanus to! Practical life lessons were taught and i hope internalised and put into practice. May his dear neshomoh continue to inspire us all!
Mazal tov on the new sefer Torah in Honour of Rabbi Sheas forthcoming shnas Hashivim – we look forward in good health to join in the siyum Besho’o toivo….
