Boruch Dayan Haemes – R. Hirsh Katz OBM

With sadness we inform you of the passing of Hirsh Katz, son of Reb Yankel Katz.

Tzvi Hirsh HaKohen Katz is known to many as the child who for many years asked the Ma Nishtana at the Rebbe’s Pesach Seder table. His father, Reb Yankel Katz from Chicago, was a stalwart supporter of both the Frierdiker Rebbe and the Rebbe.

Reb Yankel was one of the key supporters who funded of the Frierdiker Rebbe’s escape from the Nazis, and subsequently the Frierdiker Rebbe’s and then the Rebbe’s work in America. The Rebbe would speak with Reb Yankel Katz by telephone monthly, and called him “a true friend.”
