Yesterday, the Jewish world mourned the loss of a beloved leader. Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky, 74, passed away after a prolonged illness. Rabbi Kotlarsky, a man who was not just a leader, but a friend to many, was the driving force behind the Rebbe's vision, spearheading the expansion of Chabad since (and before) the Rebbe's passing 30 years ago.

Rabbi Kotlarsky's unique quality was his unwavering support for every shliach, regardless of their location. Whether it was a small town Chabad House or a bustling center in a major city, he was there. His life and home were a living testament to the Rebbe's love for every Jew, reflecting these ideals in every aspect.

His baby was the annual Shluchim Conference, the largest annual rabbinical gathering (the group pictures hang on the wall in Chabad House). In addition to the extensive program at the men's and women's conferences, knowing how many shluchim would be present from places with limited kosher options, he would ensure the food was top-notch.

When anyone called him, they would know that he was a caring person at the end of the phone line who would do whatever he could to help them.

Closer to home, the Rohr family's support for expanding Chabad on Campus, including at UChicago, was Rabbi Kotlarsky's vision. This gift is something for which we are most grateful.

May his memory be a blessing for his family and the Jewish community.

Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky, the energetic vice chairman of Merkos L’Inyonei Chinuch, the educational arm of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, passed away after a lengthy illness on Tuesday, June 4 (27 Iyar). He was 74, four days shy of his 75th birthday.
