He was the example of a true Chassid. He was real, genuine, and true. There was no facade, no impression. Everything with him was face value. What you saw, you got. What was on the in was on the out. This came across in all aspects of his life. He was true as a father, true as a friend, true as a Chassid, true as an employer and true as an employee. And in everything that went along with it.

Dear Rebbetzin Raichik and the entire Raichik Family,
I join the Khal Adas Chassidim worldwide in mourning the loss of your dear husband, father and brother. Indeed this is a great loss to you. However this is really a great loss to each and every one of us Chassidim. Not only because of the impact and the special position he had in Tzeirei Agudas Chabad enabling Hafotzas Hamayanos in Eretz Yisroel, which is a top priority by the Rebbe and therefore is a top priority by every single Chassid, but also because of the unique, special, different, and extraordinary Chassidishe traits that Yossi possessed.

1. It says in this week’s Torah portion, “What will happen is, when all these things come upon you…the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, you will take it to your heart, and you will return to G-d, your G-d, with all your heart and with all your soul…Then, G-d, your
G-d, will return your captives from exile…and He will bring you to the land which your forefathers possessed…”.
2. The Rebbe asks a question on this:
The basic point of these verses is that every Jew will return to Hashem (G-d) because of the things which will happen to them. If so, why does the Torah include the word, “the blessing”, into this equation? Isn’t the person’s Teshuvah (repentance) solely because of his broken heart which was an effect of “the curse” which befell him?

And not just any children’s museum, but the venerable Brooklyn Children’s Museum, reopening this weekend after spending nearly $70 million on reconstruction, rethinking and redesign?
