The family asked that nobody come to the levaya. Normally he would have tens of thousands. But we honor him this time by NOT going. That is his true honor.

In addition to his leadership and learning, the Novominsker was a tremendous champion and pioneer in the special needs world. He had a son with special needs, who his wife cared for devotedly at home until she couldn’t anymore and ultimately she founded Women’s League, the first Jewish service agency and group home.

Although we may disagree with some particulars of the Aguda platform, we all know that the Noviminsker was a giant in Torah and the promotion and support of Torah and Yahadus. May his merits protect us.

The Novominsker Rebbe was our family Rov. Such a pure and holy neshomo.
He will be missed.
