As the Head Shliach of Florida and Regional Director of Florida Friends of Lubavitch, Rabbi Avrohom Korf lives by the mantra of his responsibility to all Jews, and especially Anash and Shluchim whom he represents.
The shocking recent disaster in Surfside, Florida, which has gripped the world with a sense of horror along with the hope to see survivors, among whom are also our fellow Jewish and Chabad brethren, has left Rabbi Korf in a state of agitation and unfettered hope – in spite of the odds against it.
At this stage in his life, when it isn’t easy at all for him to board a plane and travel, and wait interminable hours due to delays and all that comes with it – especially having just made the trip for Gimmel Tammuz – nevertheless Rabbi Korf insisted upon traveling to New York on Tuesday to pay a special visit to the Rebbe’s Ohel in Queens, NY.
“Rabbi Korf decided that the current situation is simply unacceptable and that he had to go to the Ohel and pray on behalf of the victims,” his family member told COLlive.
To this end, he drafted his son, Rabbi Benzion Korf, Dean and Director of Lubavitch Educational Center, to accompany him in this vital task due to the dire need for a miracle.
“May our prayers be answered swiftly, and may we merit the ultimate redemption with the coming of Moshiach now,” said Rabbi Korf.
To the oldest living shliach of the Rebbe Kah, kein yirbu, may you have strength till 180 to fulfill your shlichus in good health until we greet moshiach may it be now.
Rabbi Avremel Korf is the man!! They don’t make em’ like this! Such ibburgegebbenkeir!
He Mamash walks the walls and talks the talk!!
May the Eibershter heed his cries, make them all come out healthy and strong as we happily march together with Moshiach Tzidkeinu Now!
Rabbi Korf should please be healthy and strong. May Hashem answer his davening positively. Moshiach now!
Kol hakavod to Rabbi Avrohom Korf who has taken the weight of Am Yisrael on his shoulders in pleading for miracles for the lives of the survivors at the Ohel. There is no other place in the world more fitting for the outcry to Hashem and may his prayers be answered and we see the Moshiah NOW. Thank you Rabbi Avrohom Korf
