Words of thanks from the father of Leiby Kletzky.

Rabbi Nachman Kletzky appeared on WMCA radio Saturday night making his first public comments since his 8-year-old son’s funeral. He expressed gratitude for the support his family has received since Leiby’s killing.

Rabbi Kletzky also told New Yorkers they could ensure his son’s death was not in vain by donating to a memorial fund set up by the family. The goal is to help others going through any kind of tragedy.

“For Leiby, this is what he wanted, always for somebody else,” said Rabbi Kletzky. “Whoever knew him as a kid, he always had in mind everybody else so I’m doing it just for him.”
