    So sad to hear this.
    Mrs, caplan and her husband reb be released, we’re lamed vovniks. They worried for the needy decades before it was popular to do so.reb berl would worry about people in need and shlep before dawn to the market and bring boxes of food to their door. And Mrs. Caplan stood beside and behind him, to help him do it. After reb be released passed away it took a whole committee to divide and do his work.
    Real lamed vovniks
    May Mrs. Caplan and her husband be meilitzei yoisher for all of klal yisroel and may their children be forever proud to have had such parents.
