The late Rabbi Gavriel Klatzko singing Carlebach / S S Banner with a young Rabbi Benzion Klatzko

Rabbi Gavriel Klatzko was a rabbi in Johannesburg and a beloved mentor to thousands. He passed away suddenly at the age of 28 leaving behind a wife and four children. There are books, articles, and yearly memorials dedicated to this great person. Although people knew of his great work and dedication, Rabbi Gavriel was an incredibly fun and easy-going fellow with a melodic voice and a wonderful sense of humor. Singing with him (in the glasses) is a young Rabbi Benzion Klatzko, founder of Shabbat.com and Rabbi Gavriel's older brother. Rabbi Benzion Klatzko credits his brother with inspiring him to enter Rabbinics and Jewish outreach and education. May his memory be a blessing!
