The levaya for Rabbi Yitzchok Goldstein, shliach of the Rebbe to Madrid, Spain passed by 770 Eastern Parkway on Monday afternoon before burial near the Rebbe’s Ohel.

In 5737, Rabbi & Mrs. Goldstein were asked by the Rebbe’s European ambassador Rabbi Avrohom Yitzchok Glick to come to Malaga, Spain to open a Kosher Mikvah. Soon after, immediately after Pesach of 5738, they moved to the capital Madrid and established a Chabad center there. Over the following years, thousands of locals and visitors were the beneficiaries of their great caring and devotion. There they raised a large family, ka”h, many of whom are on shlichus today.

Rabbi Goldstein was known as a great mekusher to the Rebbe who frequently wrote to the Rebbe how great his desire was to be in the Rebbe’s daled amos. The Rebbe responded in kind, giving Rabbi Goldstein unique direction and encouragement in his shlichus and work.
