‘Davka Achshav’: The Novominsker Rebbe’s Final Message to Klal Yisroel

Hamodia- By Rabbi Chaim Dovid Zwiebel, Executive Vice President of Agudath Israel of America
I had the zchus, for over 35 years, to work closely with the Novominsker Rebbe, ztvk’l, in the vineyards of Agudas Yisroel. Many of those interactions were memorable, and I had frequent occasion to marvel at the brilliance, compassion and vision of this great leader.

But perhaps the project the Rebbe undertook that will remain with me most vividly is the very last one I had the privilege to work with him on: the letter of brocha and chizuk issued by the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah earlier this week, on Monday 12 Nisan, in advance of the upcoming Yom Tov of Pesach.

Yom Tov Weather Lakewood

An Open Letter To The Jewish People - BY The Novominsker Rebbe ZTL

Mishpacha Magazine reports this letter was written by the Novominsker Rebbe ZT"L yesterday with his last bit of strength. A Letter of Bracha and Chizuk during this time  a final message that embodies so much of what he stood for.

An Open Letter to the Jewish People

Beloved brothers and precious friends, may Hashem bless you all with long lives!
When the entire Jewish nation stands in an unprecedented situation of dread, when we are at a loss as to how to prepare for the upcoming holy Yom Tov of Pesach and to fulfill the requirement of “In each generation one must envision oneself as if he went out of Mitzrayim” at a time when the situation is so hard, confusing, and painful.
The state of our fellow Jews weighs heavily upon us. Whether it is those who have passed away, and their mourning families; those who are ill, in need of Heavenly mercy for their recovery; those who are enduring economic hardship

BD”E: The Novominsker Rebbe, Zatzal Rosh Agudath Yisrael

                                                    אוי לה לספינה שאבד קברניטה

Levaya of Rebbe zy"a will be today 13 Nissan. Due to situation, it will be private. Pls respect family's wishes. Tehillim 10 AM call 978-910-2505 access 527022# or (646)558-8656. 166981037#

Hamodia- Klal Yisrael was plunged into mourning upon learning of the petirah early Tuesday, 13 Nisan, of the Novominsker Rebbe, Harav Yaakov Perlow, zy”a.

At the Siyum Hashas
The Rebbe was a towering figure in the leadership of American Jewry, and served as Rosh Agudath Yisrael of America since 1998. He was 89 at his petirah.

The Rebbe was born in New York in 5691/1931. He was the son of the previous Rebbe, Harav Nachum Mordechai Perlow, zt”l, and Rebbetzin Beila Ruchama, a”h. He was named for his great-grandfather, Harav Yaakov Perlow, zt”l, the first Novominsker Rebbe. His maternal grandfather was Harav Yitzchak Zelig Morgenstern, zt”l, the Sokolover Rebbe, a descendant of the Kotzker Rebbe, zy”a.

When he came of age, he married Rebbetzin Yehudis, a”h, the daughter of Harav Avraham Eichenstein, zt”l, the Ziditchover Rebbe of Chicago.

After his father’s petirah in Elul of 5736/1976, he was appointed Rebbe.
In 1998, after the petirah of Rabbi Moshe Sherer, z”l, the Rebbe was named Rosh Agudath Israel of America. The Rebbe’s beis medrash was on 48th Street and 16th Avenue in Boro Park.
