  1. R.Moishe Reichmann זצלה”ה.
    He was the one who taught us, how to support Mosdos Hatorah and the needy.
    He was the one who taught us, to give away hundreds of millions to צדקה.
    He was the one who taught us, donating צדקה may also be done without publicity & recognition.
    He was the one who taught us, giving to the נצרכים with humility & בדרך כבוד.
    His צדקה benefited directly or indirectly almost every single Yid in the entire world.

    הוא האיש שהיה משכמו ומעלה גבוה ועניו מכל העם

    יום השנה כ”א מרחשון – יהי זכרו ברוך
