G-d Bless, Rabbi

Rabbi Moshe Wolf lost his mother this past Monday. We just saw the good Rabbi at St. Jude's on 03 May, had a short chat and walked away with a handful of candy.

So to Rabbi Wolf, who looks out for the men and women of the Chicago Police Department regardless of faith, we offer our sincerest condolences and express the hope that your mother was met by St. Jude himself who thanked her for providing someone to watch over the Officers of this Department.

Condolences for the Rabbi and his family only here.

Back in the 90's, my Irish Catholic mother died. Rabbi Wolf sent a handwritten card. Fr. Nangle did nothing. God bless Rabbi Wolf and his family.

Our beloved Rabbi has long since looked out for and comforted us all, no matter our religion.

Deepest sympathies to him and his family. May memories of their loved one bring comfort during this time of saddness.

Thank you for all that you do Rabbi Wolfe!

In Chicago there are many screwed up things, but one thing for sure is that we have a solid man of G-d behind us. Rabbi Wolfe cares more for our policemen than anyone that I know of.

You sir are more the policeman than many of our bretheren.

All the best to you and your family during your time of need.

G-d bless you, Rabbi Wolf, in the loss of your mother. You and Father Nangle are constants in an everchanging sea of uncertainty which has become the CPD. I only hope the peace and love you two men of the cloth spread to the troops can reach the 5th floor of 3510, where it is sorely needed.
AMEN!

When I was badly injured in an IOD a while back, the bosses made their obligatory stop at the ER to give me a "get better soon". They then got back in their black Fords and went home.

Rabbi stayed with this goy the entire night, made sure someone went to the house and fed the dog and called my parents out of state to tell them what happened. He also made sure they got picked up at the airport and brought to the hospital.

He still says hi everytime he sees me, my heart sank when I read about his mother.

He's a great man. We may pray differently, but we pray to the same G-D, and he is one of us.

you are one in a million as your mother was too. as she walked up, the doors opened up, a voice stated "come on in, there is a place here for you, rest your heart now, you've arrived in paradise". And the LORD was happy as he saw the woman smile.

I am so sorry for your loss Rabbi. You truly bring hope, honor and a good chuckle to everyone you talk to. When I was in the hospital you came to visit me a few times and each time I was out cold under sedation. You would leave a note, card and teddy bear. Me and my family truly apprectiate what you did and what you do for this department everyday. I hope that we can return the favor while your going through this hard time.

Rabbi Wolf is also one of the chaplains for the Illinois State Police. I have had the pleasure of speaking with him on a number of occasions and can say without hesitation that he is a true man of the cloth. He has a great sense of humor and does a great job as chaplain.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Rabi Wolf, during this difficult time.

If there was one religion in the world, Rabbi MOESHE would be its head. The Rabbi good deeds are endless.

I cannot write anymore because I become speakless when I see, or speak to this great man, a direct decendant of Moses.

I sat shiva with this man. Just being in his presence is a blessing from the heavens.

A benifit should be held for this man every year just to show how much this city loves him. He would not like it one bit. He and his family live a life of love not riches.

Moshe, is it any wonder that so many police officers love you. You are there when they need you, and quite often even when they do not. I see the smiles on their faces when you walk into a station. These men and women have come to know you so well over the last 20 plus years that you have served them. We all care for you and wish you the best during this difficult time in your life. May G-d bless you and your family with long life and good health. Amen
