Baruch Dayan Ha’emes.
Felt so much for the Rebbe since Gimel Tammuz. Wanted his grandchildren to learn chasidus and spent hours making sure to accomplish this, funded other mosdos and privately gave advice to many shluchim, from small to big issues. A giant of a mind and a heart.
May the Almighty comfort you among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.
ברוך דיין האמת
A true shliach
I remember listening to live farbrangens with him in Denver very intensely
May hashem comfort the family…
Hamakom Yenachem esschem B’SOCH she-ar aveilei tzion virushalayim.
May Hashem comfort the entire family at this difficult time.
Rabbi Yeheskel and Pearl Lebovic, Maplewood NJ
I was saddened to hear of the pitirah of my old Chavrusa in 770 Reb Yisrael Meir. Just to share: We learned Chassidus at night Seder in the late Chofs. Yisrael Meir pushed me to learn extra with him so every night we learned Chassidus till 10:30 it wasn’t easy for me to go so late but he pushed and of course I gained a lot. המקום ינחם אתכם בתוך שאר אבלי ציון וירושלים
