Rebbe Rebbe

When I had my first child I asked him how do I raise her properly in the way of Torah. He answered me that 50% of chinuch is from self-example. This was his style, always to teach others by self-example.

When we were confused about where to put our children to get the best chinuch and Torah education for them, Rabbi Walkin advised us to send our kids to Brooklyn, Bais Yaakov and Yeshiva Ketana of Bensonhurst. All of my children have attended that school, and we have been tremendously hap- py with the hashkafa that they were taught there and the friends that they made.

Even after he no longer was teaching us, Rabbi Walkin was always available to us to ask questions and to be there for us when we needed him.

The last time that I saw him, was a few days before Purim, when he came to our Semicha presentation in Bet Gavriel, to support us and show once again how much he cared for us. He has made a big difference in my life and his memory will always stay in my heart inspiring me to live a true life of a Ben Torah. I am very grateful to Hashem that I was blessed to know and learn from such a special Rebbi.
