Yechezkel Tzvi's Story
One day my Saba asked me if I would like to go to shul with him for the 6:30 shacharis at my local shul. After we davened my Saba went out of his way to help withe a minyan at another shul. Upon completion of shacharis my Saba went past his house on his way to yet another shul to comlete a minyan.
After we finished helping with minyanim my Saba then took me to the bagel shop for breakfast. My saba always put others before himself and was ready to stop what he waas doing to drive someone somewhere. My Saba always was ready to do a mitzva and truly believed
Pirkei Avos 1-14 "He was acustomed to say: If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am for myself, what am I? And if not now, when?
Achiezer Simcha's Story
One of the many reasons I loved my sabba was because he always drove me home from school(and stoped by walmart to get me a snack) so I wouldn't have to go on the bus because people always bothered me. we talked a lot on our rides. I asked him once if he would let me drive. He laughed and said no but he showed me the different things on the dashboard and what they did.he loved to laugh and smile and liked others to thats why he had lots of comics and looked lots up. When I wanted wood for my tree house, I helped him pull down an old fence and he pulled out the nails so I wouldn't get hurt. Saba didn't waste food, he always put it into compost.he would never buy shaped taco shells he would always shape flat ones in a pan. Everyone brought him leaves and grass and he gave everyone compost for their gardens.Also a reason people loved him was because he would go to multiple shuls for shachris to help make minyan.Plus he took me and my brothers to places like the library often.he also took my brother to the bank every week to make a deposit.In addition he helped take care of my baby sister and did not let her out of sight once.he cared for evryone and every thing he evenput up a fence so his cats didn't fall off the porch.Also he was always using his time in a good way never could you find him sitting idle.Also he would collect tzedaka for our shul and count it and bring it in also he always gave a considerable amount to us when we collect tzedaka.In addition he had a specific learning time every day.Plus if we asked him to play us a game of monoply, uno , boggle or shoot nerf guns he would usualy agree.Also he taught me how to use the intercom when I slept over so when I needed something I got it.further more when he got some beer he usualy gave me about an eighth of an ounce (with my parents permishin).additionally he taught us not to leave the table without being exused.After he was niftar I learned not to take people I love for granted now. instead of just coming by once a week or when I want something I visit every chance I can.
