REB YOSEF LOBENSTEIN Z.L.

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.
