With sadness we inform you of the passing of HaRav HaChossid Mordechai HaKohen Rivkin OBM at the age of 91. Reb Mordechai was Zoche to big Kiruvim from the Rebbe, he was the Kohen that received Shalach Manot from the Rebbe, and was on the Vaad of Beis Rivkah for around 40 years.
When he was in Russia he worked alongside Reb Mendel Futerfas OBM raising money for the Yeshivos Tomchei Temimim, and was sentenced to death for doing so, but with Chasdei Hashem he managed to flee the country in 5707, and was from the first Chassidim to arrive in New York from Paris.
Reb Mordechai is survived by his wife, Dusya along with his sons and daughters, Mrs. Chana Gurevitch (Crown Heights), Rabbi Yehoshua Zelig HaKohen Rivkin (Shliach to New Orleans, LA), Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok HaKohen Rivkin (Shliach to Carmiel, Israel), Mrs. Rochel Leah Brook (Crown Heights) and Mrs. Sima Karp (Crown Heights).
