Rabbi Baruch Mordechai Ezrachi, Rosh Yeshiva of Ateres Yisrael in Jerusalem and a senior leader of the Litvish community in Israel, passed away. Rabbi Ezrachi had Chabad connections.
In 5732, he went to 770 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights to participate in a farbrengen of the Rebbe on Yud Shvat, and was seated on the bima, near the Rebbe’s brother-in-law, Rabbi Shemaryahu Gurary (the Rashag). He also merited to go into Yechidus with the Rebbe at that time.
Over the years, he visited and spoke at Chabad institutions during his travels. He gave a shiur at the Chabad Kollel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, inaugurated the Chabad Mikvah in Drezden, Germany, and addressed the Yarchei Kallah in Kfar Chabad, Israel.
During a trip to Kivrei Tzadikim in Poland, he told his students that the world of Chassidus is a “marvelous world” and that “serving Hashem has been centralized in the world of Chassidus.”
Videos online showed him singing the Chabad nigun Tzama Lech Nafshi with his students.
