#52 & 53: Tshuva, Tfilah U-Tzedakah Ma’avirin es Ro’ah Hagzera: Repentance, Prayer & Charity, alters the evil decree: The question was asked; How can there be a “Ro’ah Gzera”? How can there be an evil decree? How can anything that Hashem does, be even CONSIDERED bad, let alone evil ?! The answer is that an individual that does absolute Tshuva with a heavy heart, AND Davens to Hashem with full Kavana as if he is actually talking to Hashem face-to-face, AND consistently gives Tzedakah with true loving kindness and gladness; THAT kind of person will BEGIN to comprehend that what… Read more »

January 9, 2010 3:26 pm

as a former trauma social worker at a metropolitan hospital ,I know that the Rabbi will probably require rehabilitation,depending on the extent of his injuries,and his capabilitieswhen he awakens from the induced coma,he and his family will need extensive support. There are wonderful rehab hospitals out there,and,he will move onto one ,as soon as he recovers from the acute phase of his trauma,never give up hope as he can improve for a very long time,as he receives extensive therapies to move forward.An organization that helps with such tragic accidents is candlelighters,and of course the chabad community will be there for… Read more »

I only knew Avrohom Dovid for ashort time,but to know him was an honor. Zalmie, Chanie and the whole mispochoh have welcomed me into their home with tolerance and kindness. I have read many comments on different websites, and ask that people should be kind with their remarks.. If I ,who am not at all frum can say “Modeh Ani” for most of thenight (because that’s all that I remember} instead of tehillim, Kal V’chomer can most of these readers say tehillim and do kinddeeds, instead of hurling insults at each other. The remarks on another website made me cry.… Read more »

I just came back from the Flatbush Chabbad house.

I saw the sign, the one that will later be standing on the grave which read – Yeled in Hebrew.
I remember Avrom Dovid well and how his brother Sholom Berl was always taking care of him.
My wife and I always used to say: “Rabbi Liberow has wonderful children”

Boruch N. Hoffinger BS"D
January 7, 2010 5:05 am

Two hours ago I was standing in Frankel’s Shul (1699 President St.) where Rabbi Zalman Liberow used the ‘mikva’ and ‘davened,’ when someone said Rabbi Wolvosky and others that Rabbi Zalman Liberow was out of critical condition and is stable, B”H.
Condolences to the families at this terribly difficult time.
Let’s make ‘farbrengens’ and stress ‘Ahavat Yisroel.’

A tragedy of such great proportions is beyond reason or meaning. Condolences to the family and the entire Chabad community and a prayer for the Rabbi’s recovery.

January 7, 2010 3:07 am

Having had the honor of meetingt Rabbii Liberow at Dmitriy’s wedding, I would like to convey my sincerest condolences to him and his family for their loss. I pray that the Liberow family enjoy only Simchas now and always.

Dear Yidden

I am so saddened. Last week a young woman was badly injured in a car accident. I don’t know if it is a coincidence, or she was infact in the same car, but her mother was a Liberow. Could this Rabbi Liberow be her uncle? Surely C’V there cannot be two sperate incidents in one family?! What is going on in the Lubavitch world?? So so many tragedies……
