From Tamir: Genuine Love

Pop had genuine love for all Yidden. We know how much he loved Chabad and Chasidus but he also supported everyone that ever came to him. Last Sukkos he gave a Dvar Torah in the Sukkah about respecting Zionists and never speaking bad about Israel.
Last March he scheduled a trip to visit us in Cleveland for Shabbos. At lunchtime I heard that there was a big snow storm heading our way. I called pop in the office and told him about the storm. Even though his office was packed with clients he rescheduled his flight and landed on the last flight to Cleveland before the storm. He was reading a Litvishe book called Faith In The Night about the Mesiras Nefesh during to Shoah. After he read the book he said to me "know one should ever make fun of litvishe yidden or kollels etc.. What they went through.. One of the many lessons we learn from him is to love all Jews and appreciate them regardless of their affiliation. Never look for Kavod or think you're was is the only and best way. He had the most amazing Neshama and he was able to aprreciate and see the beauty in everyone's neshama.
