Rabbi Moshe Feder, a Crown Heights resident for 60 years, passed away last week Sunday, on 13 Kislev, 5781.
He was 92 and passed away after a short illness.
Rabbi Feder was born to a Belz family in Pshevorsk, in Galicia, Poland. He spent the difficult war years as a teenager in Siberia, where he lost his father to starvation only days before his Bar Mitzvah.
After his marriage to his aishes chayil, יבלחט״א, Mrs. Rivka Miriam Feder, Rabbi Feder and his wife settled in Crown Heights. Together with his brother Rabbi Mordche Feder, obm, Rabbi Feder and his family remained in his beloved community long after other chassidic groups moved out to Boro Park and Williamsburg. He developed a deep respect for the Lubavitcher Rebbe and became close to many members of the Lubavitch community.
Rabbi Feder was known as an exceptional machnis orach, and his door was always open to everyone. His home was small and simple, but there was always room around his Shabbos table for more guests. He never needed anything for himself but always offered a warm smile and helping hand to everyone he met.
Rabbi Feder moved to New Square five years ago to live next to his daughter. He is survived by his wife, two sons, and four daughters.
Baruch dayan ha’emes.

He passed away last week.
I ate by his house multiple times. He was an amazing Neshama!
Does any one have a contact number to be menachem avel? This man and his wife were real tzadikim. I have sent so many people to eat at their home friday night. People that were lonely, divorced with no where to go, Alienated from their family etc. Step by step his wife would walk from her home to go shop for her shabbos orchim. Even when her back was stooped. If you have benefitted from their kindness then please make a point of calling Rebbetzin Feder and her children. Its a Kidush Lubavitch and Hakaras Hatov.
Passed away 11 days ago .
You can email a nichum aveilim to [email protected] and we will print it for Mrs. Feder iy”h.
R Fedder, his brother and their wives were tzaddikim. I was lucky to know them decades ago. So sad. BDE

R’ Moshe Feder was one of a kind. A true Gem. Always had a smile. The Avrohom ovinu of our time. A hidden Tzadik. I could go on forever writing about R’ Moshe. I’ll leave space for others. I remember the days when his old friends still lived in CH, they moved and he stayed because he had a mission here to continue and complete. He was missed when he recently moved & is more missed now that he left us. He went straight to Gan eden. May HASHEM comfort his family. May he and all our loved ones return… Read more »
Rabbi Feder was a tzaddik, it was a great loss to Montgomery Street when they moved. Such a holy and special yid who treated us all with dignity and respect without care as to what your last name is and what your Yichus is, just the fact that you were Jew. My heart breaks writing this realizing what a gem we lost. I will never forget his kindness and respect. May he beg Hashem to send us Moshiach!
Rabbi feder and his wife did hachnosas orchim to the highest level.
I am sure he is in Gan Eden with Avraham Avinu and sara.
זכותו יגן עלינו
