The cause was complications of sarcoidosis, a lung disease, his son Sam said.
Judge Sifton handled many major cases in more than 30 years on the bench, many of them as chief judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
One of those cases was the issue of the ownership of the library of Aguch. On January 6 1987 Judge Sifton declared victory in favor of the Chassidim and thus became Didan Notzach.

But it is the world of Chabad-Lubavitch rabbis and their families that forms the unlikely subject for Frederic Aranda’s first solo exhibition, “Kosherface,” which begins this week in London.

Dear fellow parents,
I write this letter with tears and a heavy heart, having just heard about the loss of yet another Shliach's child. I can not help myself from asking but one question: Aibershter why?
