Wow! I looked up Rabbi Schacter, found a few photos...that is him! Rabbi Herschel Schacter! I then found a Wikipedia write up on him. I had no idea what a dynamic Rabbi he was. Born in Brooklyn, he spent most of his career at Moshulu Center, and retired to Riverdale after the Center closed its doors in 1999! He called the Bronx his home! I met him a few times back in the early 70's. I had no idea back then of his worldwide involvement in humanitarian causes! Wish I got to know more about him back then! A must read bio on Wikipedia! I must say to my fellow Bronxites...Norwood has been blessed with a few incredible men of faith that to this day, although they are gone, still leave a living legacy for those in crises!
