  1. Rav Meir Zt”L
    Is a child and grandchild of Rabanim that were of the greatest of their generations. He like his father and grandfather carried the עול של צרכי הציבור in a manner as if feeling that that was their tafkid in this world. His whole neshama and emeskeit was invested in chinuch atzmai and other projects. Principals that have dealt with him over the years would always talk about his focus on holding his position solely for it’s purpose to spread and strengthen the Torah in Eretz Hakodesh when even sometimes surrounded with animosity or disagreeement by the chiloni government. He would do anything to have his schools and chedarim/yeshivos get what it takes to grow in yiddishkeit. Like his father, meshulam sizhe zt”l who set up Mosdos HaTorah and was Osek in strengthening and preserving yiddishkeit and the sanctity of Tiveria. And of course his grandfather Rebbe Yitzchak Matityahu Luria zt”l who was well known all over Eretz Yisroel for not only having written dozens of sefarim, being voted in as the Rebbe of Slonim and refused the Kavod, Part of the Meyasdim of the first Bais yaakov in Tiveria… and a true Tzadik that accomplished Torah, Avodah Ugemilas Chassadim. Rav Moshe has now joined; worthy of being part of, yet another link to the chain of a legacy so full of gadlus; Torah- a legacy that traces back to ל”ו generations of Rabbanim. And one that continues growing with Torah and Midos and Chessed. May his Neshama be a Meilitz Yosher for all of Klal Yisroel and may his brother Moshe Ben Sarah have a Refuah Shleima Bekarov.
