R. Dovid Lifschitz zt"l

Mochassid reminds us that today is the yahrtzeit of R. Dovid Lifschitz zt"l. More than his years of strength, I remember his last year and how his health deteriorated. You can tell the dignity of a man by how he acts when he is left without his full faculties. Reb Dovid was a man flowing with dignity and love of Torah, to his very last day. Even when he was clearly confused by his surroundings, his actions and motions bespoke a certain nobility that is the hallmark of a mussar personality. It was a tremendous privilege to be able to witness such a great man. Yehi zikhro barukh.
