A large crowd attended the Levaya of Rabbi Meir Yehuda Yisroel Harlig obm, a Gabbai of 770 who served as the Rebbe's Mashbak, as it passed by 770 on the way to burial on Monday.
Rabbi Harlig passed away Sunday, 29 Sivan, 5783.
He was the person responsible for giving the Rebbe’s Lulav and Esrog to the Chasidim in order to bless them on the days of Sukkos, and he was also in charge of inviting the participants to the holiday meals in the Rebbe’s apartment.
Over the years he was in charge of the drink and food for the Rebbe’s Farbrengens, and for this purpose he was given a room in the first floor corridor of 770, where he stored them.
One of the most known roles that Reb Meir filled was organizer and master of ceremonies at many farbrengens that Chassidim held in 770.
In recent years, he served as a 770 Gabbai who was in charge of the prayers held in the Rebbe’s room.
He is survived by his wife, Tzipora, and children Rabbi Sholom Ber Harlig – Upland, CA, Rabbi Shea Harlig – Las Vegas, NV, Chaya Sara Dalfin – North Bay Village, FL, Rabbi Yossi Harlig – Kendall, FL, Rabbi Mendy Harlig – Henderson, NV, Toby Baron – Sunny Isles, FL, and Binie Holtzberg – Monterey, CA, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
