Agudath Israel of America Mourns the Passing of Rabbi Moshe Hauer zt’l

Agudath Israel of America mourns the shocking, tragic passing of Rabbi Moshe Hauer zt’l, executive vice president of the Orthodox Union.

With Rabbi Hauer’s petirah, Klal Yisroel has lost a leader who was universally respected as a talmid chochom of stature, a man of integrity, humility, vision, wisdom and depth. Rabbi Hauer created Kiddush Hashem in all of his encounters with the outside world, and he leaves behind an impressive list of significant accomplishments. The loss to our community is incalculable.

Rabbi Hauer always sought to promote achdus, unity, within the Jewish world. We at Agudath Israel enjoyed a close personal and professional relationship with Rabbi Hauer, and appreciated the opportunity to collaborate with him on issues of mutual concern. We are in shock over his tragic petirah.

May Hashem console the entire Hauer family and the multitudes of people whose lives he touched in so many ways.
