I must share that I rarely go on the computer and as such I never saw a picture of the victims who were nebach hurt at the Chanakah party in Monsey. Today, upon seeing the picture I realized that I knew him well in the past.
Our relationship began in the Kof’s (60’s) when as a bochur Reb Yossel would come weekly to 770 and I would learn Chassdis with him b’chavrusa. Reb Yossel was a talmid in the Satmar Yeshiva in Williamsburg but he had a real strong feeling and interest in Chassidus Chabad. So every Thursday night close to Chatzos he came to learn Chassidus with me for a few hours. Oftentimes on Thursday nights Reb Dovid Raskin would farbreng with the Bochurim and he would join these farbrengens. This continued for quite a few years. Even after he left the Yeshiva we maintained contact. After I moved to Miami on Shlichus I had opportunities to meet him and we both remembered those special nights with joy. He was very involved in distributing the short booklets on Taharas Hamishpacha in many languages. I tried to help by giving him a letter of recommendation to reflect the importance of his work and that the community should give him support. Wishing his family and friends a nechuma and may his Neshama have an aliya.
