R’ Mordechai Gershon Schapiro, a young Lubavitcher chossid from Crown Heights, passed away Monday, Sivan 25, 5771.
He was 35 and suffered from a long illness.
Born and raised in the Chassidic neighborhood in Brooklyn, Mochai was known as a gentle and loving person, often seen with a shy smile on his face.
He learned in Chabad Yeshivos and gained many friends as a camper and staff member in Camp Gan Israel Montreal, Canada.
He married Leah, daughter of R’ Hershel and Aliza Zarchi of Crown Heights. They have four children, Mussie, Mendel, Rivka and Basya.
His parents are Rabbi Gavriel and Malya Rochel Schapiro of Crown Heights.
The Levaya will take place tomorrow, Tuesday, leaving Shomrei Hadas at 11:30 am and passing by 770 at 12:30 pm.

Look how many connections this man had
Scrolling through the comments, you see “a friend” “a classmate” “someone he helped” “a cousin” “a community” “a camper”
Imagine… every Jewish person has so many connections, people and lives they touched…. imagine.
We are all united!

Sat down to post a comment and simply found nothing to say.Too painful to comment on. May Hashem send yeshuos and nechomos to the Shapiro and Zarchi families. To watch them deal with everything there was to deal with these past several years was a lesson in emunah, courage, and acceptance that no words can describe. Hamakom ye’nachem eschem b’soch sh’ar aveilei tziyon vee’rusholayim.
Does anyone know where a donation can be sent
Hamakom yenachem eschem bsoch sh’ar aveili tzion virushalayim der eibershter zohl eich geben kaiach ibertrogen dem nisayoin oon Ehr vet zicher gefinen a veg freilach machen eiereh hertzer mit besurois toivois tamid kal hayamim.

He was in YSP and was such a nice and great counselor.
May his family be consoled by Hashem.
leah hashem should give you strength to go on
I remember back in the mid mem’s when we used to wait in front of the Schapiro house for the bus to come and take us to Oholei Torah. on realy cold days, we would wait in the vestibule in fron tof their house. I was one of the youngest kids there, and the only one without an “older brother”. I always felt alone. Mochai was always very kind and sweet to me. a real gentle soul.
