A great mourning for Israel, Baruch Dayan HaEmes

With heavy hearts and broken spirits, the members of the kehilla received the bitter news of the passing of the well-known R' Meir Zelig Rispler z"l, a pursuer of tzedakah and chesed, a builder and establisher of the tents of Torah, a leader of our holy kehilla, and one of the pillars of our kehilla and holy institutions. The levaya departs at 9:30 from the Beis Medrash HaGadol in Williamsburg and then from Kiryas Joel, with the participation of the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a.

And the entire House of Israel shall weep for the conflagration that Hashem has ignited, and may no more destruction and ruin be heard within our borders.
