Just one memory of many…. I was lucky enough to attend Rabbi Edelman’s school. I never held my pencil properly and whenever R. Edelman would walk into the classroom, he would very gently correct my pencil grasp. My grandfathers passed away when I was very young and to me R. Edelman epitomizes the word Zaidy!

Always positive, always with a friendly greeting, always with a smile. Rabbi David Edelman certainly brought much happiness and goodness to this world. A wonderful husband and father, grandfather and great grandfather, he raised a beautiful family that brings Moshiach closer. He certainly fulfilled his tafkid with great charm and success. He will be sorely missed. A one of a kind person.
these pictures of my zaidy and mendel holtzberg are very beautiful! I know must say that Zaidy had that connection with every one of his grandkids and would kiss us all like he’s kissing mendel on the forehead with a huge gezunte smile. We are all truly blessed to have had him so much in our lives
WHO IS THAT LUCKY GRANDSON?!?!
