Rabbi Menachem Mendel Raskin z”l, one of the early founders of the village of Kfar Chabad in Israel, passed away on Shabbos. For many years he served as the Gabbai of Kfar Chabad’s main shul.He is survived by his wife, Sarah, his sister, Tzivia Bravman, and his children Benzion – gabbai of the Nachum Yitzchok shul, Itchke, and Tzivia Kurtz.
The family has requested that his brothers Reb Sholom Ber Raskin (London) and Reb Dovid Raskin (Crown Heights) not be informed of their brother’s passing.
