I would like to send my condolences to the Jewish communities in the country of Moldova following the passing of Chief Rabbi Zalman Tuvia Abelsky, of blessed memory. He was the survivor of his generation, a senior Chabad shliach who was sent to do his work by the Rebbe HaRayatz. He worked with singular dedication during some of the hardest times behind the Iron Curtain and he had the merit of restoring basic Jewish life to this country.
