Listen To It: Hesped from Harav Chaim Hager at Kosov Levaye

By BoroPark24 Staff

The words of Harav Chaim Hager of Zolochik at his brother's Levaye, brought everyone to tears, with thousands of Yidden crying out loud.

Here we bring the recording of it:

Harav Chaim began with heartbreaking words: "Cry, Yidden, cry! We have lost a giant. There is much to mourn! A father, a leader, a tzadik! Cry!

"He had such a strong connection with everyone, so much ahava..."

"He sat for 8-9 hours straight, learning with great hasmadah like a Yeshiva Bucher. He was moser nefesh when faced with difficult shailos, always finding ways to make people's lives easier. He carried so much on his shoulders, unbelievable"

"He lived a life of complete dveikus. We all saw it, and now we won't see it anymore. He had so much koach in a tish, uplifting himself and taking the whole crowd with him. The same with his tefilos. But, the second he finished, he would bend down to any person, say a good word or even a joke, to bring a much-needed smile."

"We could speak for 100 years about his chesed, the organizations he led, and the private tzedakah he gave. He was so young but endured tremendous yesurim. We couldn't bear to see him suffer.

"Ani maamin! We don't ask questions. No questions, no answers. We have emunah, emunah, emunah. This is the ratzon Hashem."

"We will live the life he taught us."
