It’s indescribable what he did for the frum community in the Flatbush area when there was nothing like it at the time. He worked with and showed love to teens whose families and schools wouldn’t even look at them.
Years ago, I went to weekly shiurim for women at the organization that he started. There was nothing like that in the Flatbush neighborhood before him!!

A foundational loss. I was involved in many music performances/concerts he sponsored or promoted. A selfless individual who cared deeply for others. He was independently successful and did not need the headache. Yet, he cared deeply. A tremendous loss. Will be sorely missed.

Rabbi Wallerstein ztl had such a positive affect on my daughter Bassie. We had the highest respect for him. He cared and treated each indivual with the highest respect . He was a positive role model , mentor. He will truly be missed by Klal Yisorel! Moshiach Now!
“May God comfort you among the other mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.”

I’ve heard of so many dynamic programs he created for girls and that he himself was a powerful speaker and guide who put his whole heart into it.

Rabbi Wallerstein, a”h, gave to this generations youth with endless love. He was foundational in helping my teen daughter years ago and steering her toward building the Torah ho.e she has now. He was a tzaddik mamash.

What a loss!!

As a cousin of his, I can say that Zecharia was not a Kovod mentch. He could have commanded that kind of kovod that he deserved, but he just didnt. He was Esti’s husband, and that made us cousins. Every time he saw me, he made time to shmooze, and just talk. I knew I was talking to greatness, someone who really cared for every yid. But he treated everyone as if he was a regular guy,, not someone rich, not someone famous, not someone uber successful. And that was his greatness. Zecharia you will be missed by me, and… Read more »

Rabbi Wallerstein lived l’chatchillah ariber. His first full day in shomoyim was the birthday of the tzemach tzedek.

Correction on a date. Not on צ'צ's birthday
