As the tax is season is upon us, one issue on everyone’s mind is how much of a refund can I get? How do I take advantage of all my available deductions? A particularly complex area that is of special importance in our community, where a large percentage of the population is working for religious institutions is the Parsonage Allowance.

To write about Reb Gedalia is not an easy task. Many people in the community described him as a Baal-Habos working to support his family, whereas his main interest in life was studying Torah. Reb Gedalia was a person who by example taught people the value of time. He conducted himself as a Baal Midos par excellence and kept religiously to a structured schedule. Sitting at the computer and waiting for the program to load, he would have a sefer in front of him, so as not to waste even a minute or two of time
