Rabbi Daniel Rose sent the following to the membership of Bnai Jacob Shaarei Zion:
Baltimore, MD - Oct. 17, 2025 - As our loss begins to sink in, we are still reeling from disbelief. For so many of us, Rabbi Hauer was our most important teacher. For so many of us, Rabbi Hauer was like a father. For so many of us, Rabbi Hauer was our personal gadol, the greatest person with whom we have had the good fortune to create a relationship. And now, we are left to find the way forward. Aveilus proceeds in stages, and we, in our own way, are experiencing a kind of shiva this week. We need to talk, to reflect, to remember; we need to begin to grasp how we will absorb the lessons he taught us and how we will continue to grow with strength and with emunah. It often happens that when a fa...

Baltimore, MD - Oct. 16, 2025 - On Shemini Atzeres night, my wife and I were blessed with a newborn son. Little did I realize that on that same night, my Rebbi – one of the most impactful people in my life – would be taken from us without warning. I am in complete shock and cannot find the words at this moment to eulogize him in any way. But in truth, I don’t know if I ever will. Rabbi Hauer’s influence on me runs much deeper than words. As I sit here at my desk at 1:00 am with my shirt torn, the few words of eulogy - which we read just this morning - written by Hashem Himself over the death of his most trusted servant, Moshe - will have to suffice: וימת משה עבד ה'.Moshe Rabbeinu’s life was summed up in those two words, Eved Hashem. ...

Baltimore, MD - Oct. 5, 2025 - Mizmor L’Dovid – Help Finish His Sefer Torah
Dovid Steingroot saved for a Sefer Torah - now we can complete it his memory
Reb Dovid — oh, how we miss you.
Your warmth, your sincerity, your constant growth in Torah and avodas Hashem — they left an indelible mark on everyone who knew you. You were a true example of someone who lived with purpose, always striving to fulfill your mission in this world.
Hashem, in His infinite wisdom, decided your mission was complete. Though it’s hard to accept, we know you accomplished more in your years than many do in a lifetime.
One of your dreams was to fulfill the words, “וְעַתָּה כִּתְבוּ לָכֶם אֶת־הַשִּׁירָה הַזֹּאת” — &ld...
He left This World as we began Bereishis.
Just as we finished V’Zos HaBerachah, the Torah’s final song, we turned the scroll and began again.
No pause. No breath between ending and beginning.
V’Zos HaBerachah closes with the death of Moshe and Bereishis opens with creation itself.
It feels divinely scripted. Because Rabbi Moshe Hauer’s life was one long Bereishis, a life of beginnings.
He lived with the wonder of first things. Every conversation, every idea, every individual — he approached as if it were brand new. There was no fatigue in him, no “I’ve seen this before.” He believed that Hashem renews the world every morning, and he tried to live that way, too. His legacy was youth; the kind that does ...
Two years ago, when numerous hostages were shockingly taken to Gaza on Shemini Atzeres/Simchas Torah, a great Mashpia, Rav Natali Reich, a Slonimer Chosid who famously taught in Yeshivas Ohr Sameach in Monsey, drew a fascinating parallel to the first report in the Torah of a Jewish captive being seized.
When the Canaanite king of Arad — who we are taught was really Amalek in the guise of Canaanites, observed that the pillar of cloud that had protected the nation left them after Aharon had died. Realizing how vulnerable they were now, he pounced on them.
Despite their efforts to harm us they only managed to take one captive, a female slave the Jews had snatched in a previous battle.
Viewing this as a stunning defeat the Jewish nation fiercely vowed that if G-d will deliver the enem...
