Message from the Lipskier family:
Update to the siyum sefer Torah: Many are asking if we are still on for today. We are. We are going ahead with it and we encourage anyone who can make it to join us.
———
The Lipskier family will hold an event to dedicate a new Torah in memory of Rabbi Fitzy Lipskier obm.
Rabbi Fitzy, as he was known, was the beloved Mashpia of Yeshiva Tiferes Bachurim in Morristown, NJ, one of the first programs world-wide for Ba’alei Teshuva.
The Torah was started one year ago, marking the beloved Mashpia’s 20th yartzeit at an event attended by Rabbi Lipskier’s children as well as his spiritual families: Tiferes alumni who brought with them many “Fitzy’s grandchildren,” children of the students who were named after him.
The Sefer Torah will be shared by all of Rabbi Lipskier’s children, alternating between their respective Chabad centers and shuls they successfully direct.
“This Torah will be a real part of him – we will be able to learn with it and dance with it, touch it, hold it, hug it and kiss it– keeping him, his learning and simcha alive,” the family said.
The writing of the final letters will take place Sunday, 14 Shvat, January 24, at 12:00 pm at 1381 Carroll Street.
This will be followed by a procession to 770 and Hakafos at 4:00 pm.
All are invited to attend.

excellent I’ll be there
I attended the tmimim alumni event put on by Rabbi Avrohom, et al., not ever meeting Fitzy, but through what I’ve heard he has impacted my life too.
Zoche to be a Bochur in Morristown Yeshiva with him as Rebbe.
Such Brenn, passion, enthusiasm was and is contagious!

the most humble person i knew he could speak to anyone
we miss him dearly may his neshoma have an aliya
moshiach now!
Giant indeed. I can see him now hearing himself called a giant and scoffing uncomfortably at it, his eyes full of wonder that one would utter such words about him. Judging from the effect he had on his students, he was a true giant.
Number 2 , you got it right on.

Moshiach Now !
Very special; yashaar Koach to the family for this great effort
He was as real as they come, so thorough, deep and just real. I still miss him all these years later.
May we dance with moshiach out of golus
