Boruch Dayan Hoemes: Rabbi Moshe Greenberg OBM

With Sadness we inform you of the passing of Harav Hachossid Rabbi Moshe Greenberg OBM of Bnei Brak. He spent seven years in a Russian prison for his childrens education, and later established Moisdos Chabad in Bnei Brak. He is survived by his 17 children, most of whom are Shluchim.

Rabbi Greenberg fought to give his children a jewish education in communist Russia, and was jailed seven years for it. Nevertheless he still continued to fight on Mesirus Nefesh for Jewish education. Once he escaped and moved to Israel, he setteled in Beni Brak where he established, for the first time, a Talmud Torah Chabad in the city.

Together with his wife Devorah, may she live and be well, they raised their large family of 17, almost all of whom serve as Shluchim today across the globe.

He is survived by his children Rabbi Naftali Greenberg (Lod, Israel), Rochel Levertov (Austin, TX), Rabbi Yisroel Greenberg (El Paso, TX), Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Greenberg (Anchorage, AL), Rabbi Zushe Greenberg (Solon, OH), Batya Shemtov (Crown Heights), Rabbi Schneur Zalman Greenberg (Detroit, MI), Rabbi Shmuel Greenberg (Vancouver, WA), Rabbi Boruch Greenberg (Oceanside, CA), Rabbi Shalom Greenberg (Shanghai, China), Rabbi Avraham Greenberg (Pudong, China), Chaya Wolf (Odessa, Ukraine), Rivka Azimov (Neuilly Sur Seine,  France), Shterni Wolf (Hanover, Germany), Esther Shaikevitz (Kfar Chabad, Israel), Rabbi Chaim Greenberg (Beitar-Illit, Israel), and Chava Kastel.

The Levaya will take place today, Tuesday in Israel.
