  1. What a Nefesh Yekara!
    I will never forget how he recited Kinos on Tisha Bav, genuine Availus on the Churban.
    Despite a life of hardships, he was always mechazek others and was a Talmid Chamin with bekius in all areas of Torah.

    Please post his name for Mishnayos.

  2. I have a special place for him in my heart. We had many good years together in camp. Anyone from camp for the last 40 years will remember him and be very fond of him. His davening, learning and zemiros were a sight to see. I specifically remember all the melave Malkas together in camp. He had a tough life but was a very holy man. May his neshoma have an Aliya and may he be meilitz yosher for all those that cared for him. For the last few years he lived in Lakewood and some people who knew him from years back Took care of all his needs. Amazing people.

  3. He was my first-grade rebbi nearly 50 years ago, and I still remember his eidelkeit and the love for Yiddishkeit he instilled in us. And of course there was his “herring bag” of prizes.

    Yehi zichro baruch.

  4. Ohev lbrios vuhov lmokom. Always a kind word and pleasant greeting. Let’s emulate his ways and be mechzak one another at every opportunity. Yehi zichro Boruch. Umucah….

  5. He was a true oived Hashem, and a geshmake yid, who had a genuine love for others. Many people, my self included, when we had a tzorah we went to him for chizuk and advice or a brocha, he truly felt our pain. He was a brilliant person who had a deep understanding of things. He will be missed by all. Yehei Zichro Baruch.

  6. His legacy will go on but we must make a yartzeit yearly. he didn’t have any physical kids but spiritually we are all his kids and we mustn’t forget such a lofty and holy man that did so much for all of us. Whether it was a good word a smile or encouragement we should not forget our father. Uvi uvi……..,.

  7. R’ Obadiah was a special person. He was a Baki in Tanach and knew Torah Neviim and Kesuvim Baal Peh with the Trop. He was also a master in Dikduk. With all these Yedios he was still able to lower himself to explain Torah with amazing patience to those who asked him Shailos.
    A giant of a person !
    Yehi Zichro Baruch.

  8. He was a real fixture of and part of the great atmosphere that was Camp Adas Yereim of years past. He was my Rebbe one summer and I was totally blown away by his vast knowledge of everything. A real eved and Oveid HaShem. He lived a life of total ruchniyos.
