BDE
When ever i bumped into Mendel he was with a smile and jumped to ask how I am and the family. He did not give a chance for me to check in on him. Because he was alwalys Boruch Hashem.
Such a beautiful Man.
Toby- You are a Blessed Woman of Valour.

May Hashem heal the pain.

BDE. As a bocher Mendel was a true shaliach of Sydney. As was his wife Toby a few years later. To all Mendel’s family I think I can speak for all of the community in Sydney . May you be comforted like the mourners of Zion and Yerusalayim. We are truly sorry for your loss. We wish you NO more Tzar. May we merit the coming of Moshiach and be reunited with loved ones.

BDE! AD MOSAI?!

Mendel and Toby - community pillars

There are no words that can comfort or explain. We lost a giant of a man. Always helpful, friendly, and with a smile. May Hashem comfort Toby – an amazing, inspiring aishes chayil- and their beautiful children. Toby taught hundreds of CH children and then continued to teach adults – being the example she is despite all recent challenges. May we be zoche to Moshiach NOW!

So sad, to go at such a young age.

Wonderful that the author and the famous chazzan visited him on Yom Kippur and sang for him, I’m sure that gave him tremendous chizuk.

Heartbreaking 😭

Simply no words. May his neshama have a huge Aliya and demand of Hashem to end this golus. May moshiach come now and have techiyas hamesim. May Hashem send strength and comfort during this rough time.
