  • WHAT A LOSS

    Reb Shaye was very close with my uncle Rabbi Greenglass and was always eager to assist him in any way possible. He and his wife tzoo lange yore always had an open house. My husband as well was one of the bochurim that would frequently eat by them on Shabbosim and remembered them as amazing machnas orchim. May he now assist his mentor Rabbi Greenglass in bringing about the final redemption revealed.
