A true Tzadik.
BDE A real tzadik. I remember him from when he moved to Flatbush around 1970 and then about 15 years later met him again when he was my son’s rebbe at Chaim Berlin. It must have been over 25 years later that he recognized me after Mincha at Rabbi Landaus and asked about my son.
His son wrote the set עבודה ברורה and is evidently a very big Talmid Chochom.
If the apple dropped near the tree that says much about the father להבדיל בין חיים לחיים.
אשרי יולדתו
יהי זכרו ברוך
זכר צדיק לברכה
he was a very relatable tzadik to bochurim 70 years his junior
