Rabbi Hecht - who passed away on
Motzoei Shabbos Chof Daled Teves - is heard here introducing the Israeli Consul General at the same conference that featured

Rov in the Sefardic "Shaarei Zion"
shul for over a
yovel, until his retirement soon after the

He was a eidem by Reb Burech Greenhut. Originally shochet in Mattesdorf and later the first Tzelemer shochet here in Williamsburg.
