The Munkacser Rebbe, shlita

It is with great anticipation that residents of the Five Towns look forward once again to the annual breakfast in benefit of the Munkacser mosdos. As in years prior, the esteemed Munkacser Rebbe, shlita, will be in attendance during this much-heralded event, delivering words of inspiration and chizuk to all participants. Supporters are marking the calendar date of Sunday, September 10, as the community prepares for the great honor of hosting this venerable Torah personage. Many cherish the chance to meet with the Rebbe, as he presides over this celebrated occasion in benefit of Mosdos Munkacs—Yeshiva and Kollel Chaim V’Shalom Zichron Tzvi, which is named in memory of Yussie Ostreicher’s beloved father, R’ Hershel (Tzvi), a’h.

As has become a tradition, the event will be hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Yussie Ostreicher at their home (184 Wildacre Avenue) in Lawrence at 9:30 a.m. It will feature keynote guest speaker Rav Mordechai Kamenetzky, rosh yeshivas Toras Chaim of South Shore, who will spellbind his listeners with a spiritually uplifting lecture.

The Ostreichers, who are graciously opening their home for the breakfast, are deeply connected to Munkacs by generations of heartfelt devotion, stemming from the glory days of pre-Holocaust Europe. Yussie’s paternal grandfather, Reb Menachem Ostreicher, a’h, served as one of the roshei kehillah in Munkacs and helped spearhead the community under the direction of the previous Munkacser Rebbe, Rav Chaim Elazar Spira, zt’l, the revered Minchas Elazar. That warmth and closeness continue to this day. Yussie and his family maintain a special relationship and a singular connection with the Munkacser Rebbe, shlita.

Today’s Munkacser Torah institutions worldwide are a continuation of the vast and elaborate network inaugurated by the previous Munkacser Rebbes. They have proliferated and been expanded by today’s esteemed Munkacser Rebbe, shlita, Rabbi Moshe Leib Rabinovich. The current Munkacser Rebbe, shlita, is an illustrious Torah personage, whose wisdom and eminent leadership have imbued the Torah world with grandeur and greatness. The Rebbe is a worthy grandson of Rabbi Chaim Elazar Spira, zt’l.

Chaim V’Shalom Zichron Tzvi, one of the jewels in the crown of Munkacs Torah Institutions worldwide, flourishes under the dynamic governance of the Rebbe’s son-in-law, Rav Yosef Horowitz, shlita. The rosh yeshiva, following the guidance of his father-in-law, is completely devoted to the spiritual success of his talmidim. This towering edifice of Torah and yiras Shamayim has gained much admiration as an establishment that cultivates excellence in each of its students.

On Sunday, September 10, readers of this article can choose to simply eat breakfast. Or they can choose to attend “The Breakfast” and help bolster a treasured Torah institution, for all time.
