    Some things that I will always remember about Rabbi Piekarski

    Was a Chossid
    Always had a smile on his face
    Left a generation of students who he touched deeply
    Loved the Rebbe
    Offered help to those who needed it most
    Father who loved his children
    Shared his love of Torah with his sudents
    Had endless Patience for those who needed help.
    Always had a kind word to say to others
    Mekarev Yidded to Yiddishkeit.
    Everyone around him felt accepted.

      I couldn’t agree more. From all my Rebbeim in Yeshivah I learnt the most in his class. He was not just a teacher, rather he taught you how to learn. He was a Talmuid Chochom that had a fountain of knowledge, and he shared that with his students in a very matter of fact way.

    The best Kriah Teacher. I really knew how to lein well thanks to him. He also left a lasting impression on his incredible work ethic. He was there early morning for shachris and late at night making house calls to teach bochurim how to lein and learn their bar mitzvah maamer.
