  1. Wow what a big loss for Klal Yisroel. R’ Velvy was everyone’s best friend. Always had a good word for anyone and everyone. He would do anything for anyone. What a sad day.

  3. He never forgot a Talmid of the Yeshiva even years after he left the Yeshiva.
    Always had agood word, and kept in touch with hundreds of talmidim.
    I personally, as a Talmid, will miss him!
    יהי זכרו ברוך

  4. I am in shock. Velvel was always so much larger than life. We was never seen without a smile and a cheerful word for those around him. May HkbH bring a Nechama to elky and the children.

  5. Velvy Velvy Velvy, to say that we will miss you is an understatement!!!!

    What you did for others, nobody nobody can duplicate!!!

    How you cared about every person was amazing!!!

  6. I met him once in my life at a chasuna. He agreed to deliver me a sefer from Rav Reuven Fain, zt”l.

    I was struck by his warmth, the way he spoke about Rav Fain extraordinary hasmada, and his ahavas haTorah.

  7. What we know about Velvy is just the very tip of the iceberg. What he did for the rbsh”o’s children is immeasurable. He cared about every yid. Got involved in every cause to help another yid. His sense of humor was there to make another yid smile. Velvy, you will be missed!!!! You are irreplaceable!!! Who will be there for all the heilige yidden that you helped out in every possible way?? Please daven for us at the Kisei Hakavod. May you be poel yeshuos, refuos and Simchos to all of Klal Yisroel!!

  9. What Reb Velvel did for klal Yisroel most people don’t even begin to understand. He had an open account in KRM grocery that he let anyone in need us with no questions asked that he raised money for single handedly. He used to tell people to just call KRM and pay them directly it wasn’t about him ever. He helped unlimited people daily. What a loss!!
