He had tremendous intellect, humility, and kindness! We love you Rav Mendel and you will always be in our hearts!

Knew him for over 30 years and had the Zechus to have him as a Magid Shiur as well as a Mashpia which gave me the desire to learn B’hasmodo and be a Chosid, He had the most amazing personalty from day one when I met him, a true example for others, he had all the qualities of a True Chosid which the Rebbe would like us to be, with his goodness and kindness he definitely made this world a better place at his Levaya in L.A. there was a large crowd it was also very noticeable how all his… Read more »

Not always do you hear the word Tzaddik used amongst Chassidim, even more so when one is in this world. That was Reb Mendel’s title here in the Los Angeles communitIES!
We will miss you with great pain. Please continue your job of brining Mashiach closer, now with even more power than ever!

A very large crowd gathered at Cong. Levi Yitzchak in Los Angeles where the Levaya began.
The place was pact, with a large number of people standing outside the Shul. The Shul filled with Chabad, non-Chabad and lots of his Mekuravim. Many Rabonim and community leaders attended as well.
