"Rabbi Lefkowitz was a well-known and highly regarded leader of the Satmar Hasidim. A successful businessman and philanthropist, Rabbi Lefkowitz was a guiding force in the Satmar community here in New York and throughout the world. Rabbi Lefkowitz tirelessly gave his time and energy to help build his community and improve the lives of others. His contributions to our City are greatly appreciated. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Rabbi's family, friends, and with all those in the Satmar community."
