I remember Moshe from Hillel in Minnesota, and for me, he was always an exemplary rabbi.

Many years ago I was asked if I could blow shofar at the Beth El synagogue in Shaker Heights. They did not have a rabbi for their aging congregation. They had a core of devoted members who had supported the congregation, keeping it going after the death of their long time rabbi. The first couple of years I was there, the services lacked the clergy leadership to support their devotion. In stepped Rabbi Adler to the rescue. He was hired as a part time rabbi to add a needed element to the holidays. Besides his enjoyable, humorous insightful sermons and commentary,  he tutored and instructed this would be shofar blower. He trained and coached me on some of the techniques and guidelines helping me to be able to properly continue this activity. I remember asking him "What kind of rabbi was he?". His response was “A good one I hope".  I continued , I meant orthodox, conservative or reformed?? He responded conformadox. This was exemplary of his quick wit, humor and ability to make someone feel comfortable all at once. I always enjoyed his pleasant smile, informative and humorous nature and thought provoking ways of viewing things. While my contact with him in recent years was limited, I thought of him often, especially as I stood to be a baal tekiah on the holidays. I know many will miss this wonderful learned gentleman and his insight. To his family and friends I offer my deepest condolences and hope that his memory and passions will live on.

Rabbi Adler was the type of Rabbi who carried his congregation as a leader and at the same time was a dear close friend of each of then. The way that he treated his wife, obm with such kindness, respect, and love taught us all to be better spouses. He was a true role model of a rabbi as a teacher, and as a good person. He will be very missed. May his memory be for a blessing! 

In the late 1950s R Moshe was my counselor in the Yeshiva in Chicago and then ןn Skokie.  Moshe was known for his kindness to younger boys and gave great sheurim in Torah.  Although we lost touch over the years, he made an impression on me and strengthened my Torah life for the next60 odd years.

תהיה נפשו צרורה בצרור החיים 

I was a student of Rabbi Adler’s in the early 1990’s at the College of Jewish Studies.  I will always remember his passion for our Hebrew studies as he made the language come alive.  But it was the respect and warmth that he showed for everyone that I will never forget. He truly was a blessing.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.
