A FINE, PURE SOUL
A ‘finer poshuter Yid,’ needs all finer poshuter Yidden everywhere!
THE TRAGEDY IS HEARTBREAKING. THE NEED IS URGENT. YOUR SUPPORT IS CRITICAL.
The horrific Coronavirus plague struck a deadly blow to the Gurewicz Family. This past Shabbos, Rabbi Shalom Gurewicz, a 56-year-old husband and father of 6, lost his life, an innocent victim of COVID-19.
Reb Shalom was a fine, pure, and gentle soul, an inspiring influence to any and all.
For many years, Rabbi Gurewicz served as the rabbinical coordinator for the Kof-K Kosher supervision in Chicago and the midwest. He single-handedly ensured that you and I enjoyed the highest standards of Kashrus.
His family, who just recently moved to Pomona, NY, needs your support NOW. As Pesach approaches, your contribution will literally save a family from even more suffering!
If consoling a mourning family is not enough, these words penned in 2010 by Rabbi Gurewicz himself, will surely open your heart:
“My zeida, Nochum Zalman Gurewicz, once took my aunt Ida to see the Lubavitcher Rebbe. She told the Rebbe that her husband Hershel was not a Chossid but a ‘finer poshuter yid,’ a fine simple Jew (in fact he was a Yid a Talmud Chochom). The Rebbe answered her, ‘Un vos is a Chossid? A finer poshuter Yid!’ And what is a Chossid? a fine simple Jew!”
The Gurewicz Family needs all finer poshuter Yidden, all fine and pure Jews everywhere to give generously with an open heart, a strong hand, and an outstretched arm!
In the Zechus and merit of your Gemilas Chassadim, may you, your family, and all Klal Yisroel be blessed with complete health and healing, eternal salvation and redemption.
