Baltimore, MD – July 12, 2024 - The following announcement was sent today for the myriads associated with Mercaz Torah U’Tefillah.

The entire Mercaz Torah U’Tefillah Kehilla joins the Rav in sorrow as he begins the year of aveilus for his father, the Zidichover Rebbe of Chicago who was recently niftar. The Rebbe, Zt”l’s, warmth and love for every Yid were legendary, leaving Klal Yisroel and the Chicago community with a profound void. 
Following the Rebbe’s petirah, the instructions were revealed that his sons will carry on the important mantle of Rebbe in his stead. As announced this past Shabbos, we are excited to inform you that our Rav should now be referred to as the Zidichover Rebbe of Baltimore. 
We wish the Rebbe much bracha and hatzlacha in his new role, leading us for many years to come with gezunt and arichas yamim tovim.
