R’ Hershel was a respected member of the Chabad community in North Miami Beach where he was giving and chessed were legendary.
He was often spotted making his rounds with his car full of freshly baked goods, homemade by his wife Josephine, delivering them around the neighborhood, his family’s personal participation in local simchas.
His countless acts of chesed, and the constant support for others, are legendary. Hershel went about this in the most plain and unassuming way; you could see that he breathed chesed. And Hershel cared for his family in the most beautiful and endless way. The pure love and devotion he showed to his beloved wife and to all of his precious children were the very epitome of what it means to be a family man. Hershel would do anything for his family.
He is survived by his wife Josephine and their 7 young children, Rena, Chava, Rivka, Ari, Penina, Menachem Mendel and Mordechai.
