In Tribute to Rav Moshe Kupetz ztz”l
I once heard the venerated rosh yeshivah of Gateshead, Rav Avrohom Gurwicz, recount at a hesped that in ancient times it was tradition to lay the niftar’s book and key on the coffin.
For Rav Moshe Kupetz, who passed away this past Sunday, 8 Adar, that book would have been the Torah he taught to a wide assortment of Jews in Manchester and beyond, and the key would have been the one to unlock hearts of all ages.
He was a pivotal resource for so many Jewish schools the full range of mosdos chinuch, where he knew his sacred mission was to teach all students with unconditional love and acceptance.
