The Crown Heights community is invited to a joyous celebration as the Lakein, Brackman, and Bension families complete a sefer Torah in loving memory of their dear parents, Rabbi Shlomo and Miriam Lakein a”h.
Rabbi Lakein published the Jewish Art Calendar for three decades, revolutionizing the Jewish printing industry. Passionate about education, he founded Yeshiva Darchai Menachem, a school founded on the principle of “chanoch l’naar al pi darko.” Together with his wife, he welcomed hundreds of people to their home and was always involved in community needs.
Rabbi Lakein passed away last Shvat at the age of 67.
Approaching her 22nd yahrtzeit, Miriam Lakein is remembered for her warmth, generous spirit, and her deep connection to the Rebbe. She was passionate about her adopted community, Crown Heights, the Rebbe’s inyanim, and her 10 children.
The Siyum Sefer Torah will begin at 546 Montgomery St. at 4 p.m. on Thursday, 1 Tamuz, June 18, 2015. At 5:30, the music turns on and the march to Yeshiva Darchai Menachem begins. Hakafos and a seuda will follow at the yeshiva.
Please join the Lakeins for this momentous community affair!
They were two very very special people. I remember the day Shlomo Lakein came to Hadar Hatorah which was then located in the ladies gallery in 770
I miss both of you so much. Will be out of town when you have this event. So sorry I can’t be with you at this very special event. Hatzlocho!
An honor to be invited to share in your remarkable family’s special Remembrance Day. What a gift to feel the Lakein’s energy & Chayis for our community as always. So proud that Miriam & Shlomo continue to represent to all Baal Teshuvas how much they can accomplish in bringing the light of our dear Rebbe to the world forever! Thank you for sharing this message with us once again with all their typical hospitality as usual 🙂
