Was such a special chossid! We need mishiach now!!
Yisroel put all his coychos the last 20 years or so, into working on government funding for Jewish schools. As well, he served as a principal in Cheder Chabad in the early years of the school. He was a true community member, giving of himself for the kehillah at all times. He will be sorely missed and we can only hope that he will be a gutte beter for us all. We need Moshiach NOW!
Our hearts go out to Chani, her sons and the rest of the family.

Words can’t describe the sadness and loss to his family, community, the city of Toronto, and Canada.
Well respected by the community and politicians. Was involved in helping many good causes in the community.
Yisroel I’ll miss you, your kindness, and wisdom <3
