HaRav Yaakov Shalom Toib, Mara D’Asra Atleet, Eretz Yisroel described Rav Wichnin as “Malach Elokim,” not an “Eesh Elokeem.”

Something to contemplate upon as we remember this great man!

חבל באמת על דאבדין

מסור לכל תלמיד בהתמסרות

דאג לכל צרכי הרוחני

תמיד היה בשמחה אפילו בעת חולי

חייך תמיד היה על פניו

זכות גדול נפלה בחלקי שזיכינו להכיר באי גברא רבא

תנצב״ה

נח שמחה פאקס

Later, when my parents got married in Crown Heights, Rabbi Wichnin traveled in for the wedding. He cornered my grandfather after the chuppah and asked him if he would give the young couple a special gift – that he’d stop working on Shabbos. My grandfather said that next time they’d reorganize the shifts at work, he’d request Shabbos off. Rabbi Wichnin insisted that my grandfather commit to go to his boss immediately when he got back home and not delay the gift to the young couple.
My grandfather never again worked on Shabbos.
This meaningful gift is something my father talks about until this day.
