We enter this summer bereft
of a leader and good friend,
Mr. Fred Pfeiffer ZT”L
ל”צז לאוי רבחה ןב םולש ריאמ רבחה
Mr Pfeiffer’s influence and impact is felt in Jewish community organizations
around Montreal, notably, at the MK/JCC. Mr Pfeiffer served in various capacities
on the board of the JCC/Vaad Ha’ir for over 60 years. The JCC’s mission was his
mission, and indeed, his work significantly strengthened Jewish life in Montreal in
so many ways.
Mr. Pfeiffer was involved and attended meetings every week for over 50 years
making decisions pertaining to many different facets of the community. He
tirelessly gave of himself for the Klal and would do anything to help a fellow Jew. He
was a person of Shalom, however, he was extremely principled and ensured that
all the decisions made in his public life were those that were geared completely to
Torah, Halacha, and without any compromise.
With his quick wit and great sense of humor, he endeared himself to all who came
into contact with him and his way of deracheha darchei noam, ensured that when
he made a decision, people respected it and followed it.
In the coming months, much will be written about this great man.
Let us emulate his ways, learning from his dedication, kindness and adherence to
true Torah values.
