    Dearest Neely, Celia, Yoni, and family, we are beyond devastated to hear this news, I had been davening for Chaim ben Zipla’s refuah shlaima every Shabbas at candle lighting since i’d learned of his illness and prayed to never hear this announcement. I have no words so I will use those we are given, Hamokom Yinachem Eschem Bsoch Shaar Aveilei Tzion Vyerushalayim and may we finally all be reunited with Moshiach NOW! Sending much love and brachas, Orlie

    One could detect his aidelkeit and mentslechkeit by just meeting him for the first time. May the family only know from simchas here on in.

    May Hashem comfort your family among the mourners of zion and Yerushalayim and may we soon see your dad escorting Moshiach NOW!

    It says that a Chossid makes a sviva, R’Katzir really enriched his surroundings with his good cheer even when really sick his mesiras nefesh to come to shul and keep going was inspiring when he came in the whole place perked up.

    My brother in law Haim. Who inspired our family with his committment to Yiddishkeit. We will always cherish and admire his Dvar Torah, his never ending stories and his absolute faith in Hashem. There will never be another like him in our family.. He was a true Gentlemen, a kind soul and you could not ask for a sweeter person. Haim, I will miss you dearly. I will mourn the loss of what you gave our family. Chocma, Beena and Daat . All my love and respect to Celia, Neely and Yoni.
