Rabbi Moshe Herson – you are a beautiful representative of the Lubavitcher Rebbe!
Many years ago, you’ve extended tremendous kindness to my financially-challenged father and as a result thereof, I experienced 3 meaningful, productive, life-enhancing years in Tomchei Temimim.
I am forever grateful to you for this.
May Hashem continuously shower with you great health and much success in all your holy endeavors.
