Anyone who lives or has lived in Boston knows Moshe Rahmani, the Chabad chosid that spends his free moments catching Yidden on the go for mivtza Tefillin in Coolidge Corner in Brookline.
When Moshe spotted this ‘familiar’ character entering Butcherie, the local kosher market, Moshe seized the opportunity to grab this Yid for a mitzva!
When asked the meaning behind his not-so-Jewish disguise, he explained, “I’m busy making children happy.”
Moshe is a true Chosid. Just being around him makes you feel better and so much closer to Judaism, We’re fortunate to have him in our community!
For a Jew to make children happy at their holiday time is a sweet thing. Perhaps this yid needs the money –perhaps he is visiting children in the hospital–sweetest of all this Santa was buying kosher food all of us Jewish boys can share the delight of tephilin no matter what color our outfits.
Nice to see someone getting him to put on tefillin, but very sad to see a Jew playing Santa Claus.
I have known Moshe Rahmani for the past 40 years. We were classmates in Iran at Fakhre Danesh (Otzar Hatorah) high school for six years. As I remember Jamshid (his Hebrew name is Moshe) he was always willing to help his fellow Jews. When my daughter was studying at Boston University, Moshe helped her a few times with assembling her furniture and other things. I live in New York and asked Jamshid to help her. I am so proud that I have known Moshe for so many years. He is a real chosid!
Jamshid,
I am so proud of you!
Makes me want to move to Brookline.
Y’shar Koach Moishe. You’re the best!!!
if anyone that lives in boston knows rabbi moshe rahmani (as stated above). than anyone that reads this site knows who that “familiar” character is!
What a rock star!! This chossid is an inspiration for all! Thanks for sharing the picture.
Moshe Rahmani is a Chassid with a big heart and truly is a light in his Brookline neighborhood, as well as in the Shalom House on Shabbos
wow abba u inspire us every day! xxooo!! love sara and tzvi
Moshe is an inspiration in his humility and commitment to the rebbe and mivtzoim. He has endless mivtzoim stories that arent publicized but could fill countless books.
