When exactly is Kvura? Rabbi Faskowitz Shli’ta is a wonderful Rav who has helped so many people, I would like to try to be there if I can.
If anyone has details of the time, the chelke etc I would appreciate it.
She is also survived by her son Mordy, who was a leading askan on behalf of homeless people already 50 years ago.
