R Adler was a real tzadik he was just visiting from Ey. May his family and clal yisroel only hear bishuros tovos.
also he passed away from cardiac arrest in the hospital
B’DE. So very sad! May he be a meilitz yashar for his family and Klall Yisrael.
His name is Moshe Adler from Israel
The Levayh will be today 2PM at Belzer Shul 50 St. And 15th Ave. And than flown to Israel.
It is scary to see how some people are afraid to go to Eretz Yisroel because they claim it is dangerous, and this Yid came from Eretz Yisroel to the U.S. and got killed here R”L.
One of the Tzadikim said that “every bullet has its destination.”
He was a real nice person, extreme goodness, yhei zichro boruch
He was indeed a fine person. When I visited the old Belzer
Rebbe ZTL in 1953/4/5 he was one of the two bachurim who were meshamish him. He appears in a well known photo
standing behind the Rebber holding his chair.
He was in my UK hometown only a few weeks ago on his regular annual visit
This person was involved in a major, major accident a year ago and finally recovered.
BDE.
He was such a sweet person. He always went round with a smile and a good word to everyone. He had a tremendous Hadras Ponim which one couldn’t forget.
I also remember his father coming here. He looked like a Malach.
Yehei Zichro Boruch and may he be a Meilitz Yosher for klal Yisroel
