Thursday, 6 Iyar \u2013 April 23, 5786 (2026), marks the 24th Yohrtzeit (anniversary of passing) of South Florida Legend, the beloved Rabbi Dovid Bryn zt\u201dl, founder of Chabad Chayil & the California Club Shul. Mostly known for his unending acts of kindness and genuine love for every human being, he is truly missed by all who knew him.<\/p>

Some rabbis are known for their gigantic shuls and temples, but Rabbi Bryn had a much bigger Shul, one not bound by walls. His shul was in the flea markets, soccer fields of the JCC & in people\u2019s homes. His Sunday afternoon would be spent in a teenager\u2019s living room with a pair of Teffillin and a group of friends. His Shul was in the community\u2019s hearts.<\/p>\n

Rabbi Bryn was a Chabad rabbi and Shliach emissary of The Rebbe to North Miami-Dade, whose life was tragically cut short at age 40 by Marfan syndrome, a condition that affects the body\u2019s connective tissue. For over a quarter of a century, Rabbi Bryn \u2013 the son of Holocaust survivors \u2013 courageously battled the fatal disease that decimated his heart, yet managed to minister to, counsel and inspire tens of thousands of Jews and non-Jews alike.<\/p>\n

Rabbi Bryn fed the hungry and poor, counseled the sick and the troubled \u2013 all with great courage, fortitude and self-sacrifice. He arranged marriages, taught Torah and ethics to thousands, bridged the interfaith gap by working closely with people and clergymen of all faiths \u2026 he was the living embodiment of kindness and bravery.<\/p>\n

Some might be troubled by the precariousness of constantly living on the edge of existence, but the rabbi\u2019s overflowing concern for others left no room for worry over his own well-being. He lived the equivalent of 120 years of good in a third of the time.<\/p>\n

One friend commented on RabbiDovidBryn.org, which was created to remember the legendary Chassid, \u2018If he could breathe, then he would talk to others about G-d\u2019s good, the beauty of a Mitzvah, or life\u2019s bright spots. If he could walk, then he would go to share life with others and show positive perspective as it should be seen. If he could drink, then he would toast L\u2019Chaim to all things positive and constructive. If he could sing, then he would. If he could do, then he did. He showed strength not owned by men who appear stronger. He showed love that is only written about. He lived a full life of treating others as one would treat themselves. When I need an example of the unrelenting power of love, I think of him.\u2019<\/p>\n

For the past 24 years, we\u2019ve been getting together for an annual Farbrengen, to say a l\u2019chaim, reminisce about the good times shared together and, most important, to talk about how his chesed \u2013 \u00a0his loving kindness for every human being could be emulated.<\/p>
