Rabbi Gerlitsky was one of the staunch pillars in Montreal. He will be sorely missed in Montreal and around the world. So sorry for the family and those in the family with whom I grew up and remain good old and strong friends. Hamokom yenachem…

What a legacy!

Rabbi Gerlitzky was one of the 9 shluchim sent by the Frierdike Rebbe to Montreal. Rabbi Greenglass zol zayn gezunt biz moshiach and Rabbi Weinburg, zol zayn gezunt biz moshiach are the 2 remaining shluchim! We want Moshiach now!
