Rabbi Moshe Hauer, zt”l: The Loss of a Leader
This past Shemini Atzeret, the OU family—and indeed all of Klal Yisrael—was left with a void that cannot be measured, with the passing of our beloved Executive Vice President, Rabbi Moshe Hauer, zt”l. For nearly six years, he carried the OU with a steady hand and a listening heart, guiding with wisdom rooted in Torah, integrity and an abiding love for Klal Yisrael. In shul, in the office, in the public square—wherever he went—he brought warmth, clarity and a sense of sacred purpose. His life was a living lesson in devotion, humility and care. May his memory forever be a blessing and a light to guide us forward.
In the pages that follow, we offer reflections from colleagues and friends who knew him best. A more extensive tribute will appear in a special edition of Jewish Action.
