Rabbi Avraham Ber Blesofsky, one of the first shluchim to Miami who moved to Melbourne where he served as a mechanech, passed away on Wednesday, 8 Teves, 5784.
He was one of the first Shluchim to Miami, Florida where he was a mechanech in Yeshiva Oholei Torah (the original Chabad day school).
He later moved on Shlichus to Melbourne, Australia, where he served as mashgiach in the Yeshiva Gedolah and later, a magid shiur in the Yeshiva Ketana.
He was a devoted and fervent Chosid of the Rebbe, very involved in mivtzoim especially mivtzah mezuzah, a geshmake baal menagen, and a driving force in Mivtzah Moshiach in Melbourne.
He is survived by his wife Mrs. Ella Blesofsky nee Gurewicz and sons Rabbi Yossi Blesofsky – Bayside, NY and Rabbi Sholem Blesofsky – Melbourne, Australia.
He is also survived by his siblings Mrs. Yehudis Engel – Crown Heights; Mrs. Libby Zwiebel – Morristown, NJ; Mrs. Mimi Furst – Florida; Mrs. Faigy Rubenfeld – Florida; R’ Yehuda Blesofsky – Crown Heights, and R’ Ari Blesofsky – Crown Heights.
Shiva will be observed in Melbourne, Australia.
To Ella, Yossi, Sholem and the whole blesofsky family, may you be comforted and may his fervent wish that Moshiach come finally be fulfilled so we can be reunited with him!
our hearts are with you all at this time,
-Avi
