Deans, NJ – Emotions ran high at a small gathering Sunday in Deans, New Jersey, as a hakamas matzeiva was held for Leiby Kletzky obm, four weeks to the day before the Borough Park boy’s first yahrtzeit on the eleventh day of Tammuz.
The Kletzky family was joined by their Rov, Rabbi Binyomin Eisenberger, and approximately two dozen others at Washington Cemetery.
Following Tehillim, Kel Maley Rachamim and the singing of Acheinu, those assembled at Leiby’s kever placed stones on the matzeiva, which bore a poignant inscription, describing Leiby as a korban for all of Klal Yisroel, who ultimately served as an inspiration to Jews worldwide.
The matzeiva also portrayed Leiby’s exceptional character praising him as “loved by all those who knew him…excelled in the pleasantness of his middos…thirsted for the word of Hashem and his mitzvos…and had a pleasant face for those who knew him and his rabbeim.”

Read Kitzur Shulchan Aruch (by the halachos of Rosh Hashana and the minhag to go before R”H). Only oisyois boiltois i.e. sticking out, NOT engraved!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not because of toichen. There he gives an eitzeh to say from avinu av harachaman in ahavas oilam….
Ignorance is not kusher leshikcha because you can’t forget what you didn’t learn….
Become a candidate of shikcha and learn something!!!!!
( :*)
No words…..
there is a Yesh Omrim Which Say that it is Koshe L”shichicha to read what is written on a Matzevah
chabad is Makpid to have the Matzeiva up before Shloshim (most have it done right after Shiva)
in the whole velt the normal time to erect a Matzeiva is right before the first Yuhrtzait – and we should never know from these things
Everyone has different minhogim as to when they put up a matzeivah. A common one is 11 months after the petirah.
Many People put the Matzeivah up at 11 months. Lubavitch does it the morning following last morning of shiva when possible.
Where is the creepy Yvach Shmo monster at this moment? I hope he suffers bitter and cries out to Hashem for forgiveness. But alas, such forgiveness will take many cycles of purgatory.
by many kehilos it’s customary to place the matzeiva by the year
Why were there no chabad representative?
NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is heartbreaking beyond words, it’s very hard to look at Leiby’s father and not to cry. it’s very hard to think of what happened to the boy last year and not to cry. Leiby was one of those few people who united Klal Yisroel, as we all together as one itentified with his pain and felt like it was one of our own.
May we speedily be Zoche to Vihokeetzu Viraninu…..
Nothing short of electric chair for that rodeif who was responsible.
I don’t understand why it took so long to put it up?
Where is the monster now?
this is completely heartbreaking….i can’t believe it’s been a year already…
