I AM REALY PLEASED WITH THE SIXTEEN PAGE SPECIALY TRIBUTE
THE JEWISH TRIBUNE WAS LUCKY HE PASSED A WAY ON SUNDAY AND THEY HAD A WHOLE WEEK FOR THE PICTURES AND ORBITUARY
JOE YOU COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT BETTER YOURSELF
HE WAS FOR SURE A PILLAR OF THE KEHILLA AN OUTSTANDING ASKAN
AND HE MADE SURE TO PUT HIS NOSE IN TO EVERYTHING FROM A TO Z
THE MORE D'ASRA AND RAV ELYOKIM SCHLESINGER
TALKED ABOUT HIS MIDAS HA'EMESS
I KNOW A FEW THINGS ABOUT THEM
I DO NOT THINK THEY KNOW WHAT
MIDAS HA'EMESS IS
RABBI DOVID FRAND AND RABBI AVROHOM ZONSZAJN
ARE TELLING THE TRUTH WHEN THEY SAY HE WAS ALSO ON MANY OTHER SUB COMMITTEES AND THAT HIS ASKANUS EXTENDED TO ALMOST EVERY FACET OF COMMUNAL LIFE
THIS INCLUDED ALMOST EVERY MAJOR ORGANISATION IN LONDON
IT IS TRUE THAT HIS INTENTIONS WERE L'SHEM SHOMAYIM.
BUT HE WAS LIKE OTHERS IN LONDON WHO THINK
L'SHEM SHOMAYIM MEANS ONLY THEY MAY ME BE AN ASKAN ,
AND THAT IS WHY NOTHING GETS DONE.
