Rabbi Shlomo Matusof was born on Yom Kippur in 1917 in Vitebsk, Belarus. As a small child, he learned in the Lubavitch network of underground schools. The locations would change daily, sometimes moving from city to city.
He endured imprisonment at the hands of Soviet authorities before being sent to France and then Morocco in 1950 by the Rebbe worked tirelessly to shepherd the Jewish community in North Africa.
As one of the leaders of the Chabad-Lubavitch educational activities in Morocco for close to 50 years, the network counted some 70 separate institutions, producing thousands of graduates.
His yartzeit is on 1 Kislev.
May they continue bringing much nachas to Hashem, the Rebbe and their father…
The best mashpia in lubavitch!
I hear he’s in the Poconos these days.
Awesome Rabbi
