Schneerson. Rabbi Zaklikofsky, 72, succumbed to a long illness on April 24, 2020, in Brooklyn, N.Y., where he was lovingly cared for by family members. Rabbi Z was renowned for his kind demeanor. Despite all his administrative and educational duties, he focused on visiting the sick in hospitals and offered encouragement to prison inmates. At the Chabad yeshivah, his door was open to give comforting advice to young students. And he was always ready to assist Detroit community members in need of help. In addition, Rabbi Z, a brilliant scholar, served for almost six decades as the exacting editor and eagle- eyed proofreader for Chabad publications — “always protecting the Rebbe’ s honor and dignity,” said son Eliezer Zaklikovsky of Monroe, N.J. “Literally millions of words went through his hands,” said friend Rabbi Yosef Minkowitz of Montreal. “Many times, he caught mistakes no one else would catch.” But as strict a perfectionist as he was in his editing, Rabbi Z was warm and forgiving in his relations with people. Son Rabbi Yossi Zaklikofsky of Bellaire, Texas, describes his tall, humble father as “an unassuming gentle giant.” The rabbi was born in 1947 to Holocaust survivors in a displaced persons camp in Germany. His family came to the United States in 1951, and he grew up near Chabad headquarters in New York City. In 1975, he came to Detroit and served as an administrator of the Lubavitch Foundation of Michigan. “Rabbi Z wore many hats,” said Rabbi Yosef Kesselman of the Lubavitch Foundation. “He was also in charge of two cemeteries. I saw how he handled family members with such sensitivity. People left his office absolutely stunned by his kindness and goodness.” Friend Mitchell Shek, a Birmingham dermatologist, said, “ All these qualities and accomplishments were wrapped up in a sweet package we called Rabbi Z. He exuded unparalleled warmth and congeniality.” Son Eliezer said, “My father never looked for reward; he never looked for credit in this world. That’ s not what mattered to him. What mattered was that he was able to do something to further HaShem’ s cause and to further the Rebbe’ s mission of making this world a better place. This was evident in every aspect of his life.” Rabbi Moshe Zaklikofsky is survived by his wife, Shaindel; children, Rabbi Eliezer Zaklikovsky and Rabbi Mendy Zaklikofsky of Monroe, N.J., Yitty Werner and Nechama Shmotkin of Brooklyn, Rabbi Yossi Zaklikofsky of Bellaire, Texas, Dovid Henoch Zaklikofsky and Rabbi Shmuel Zaklikofsky of Brooklyn, Rabbi Berel Zaklikofsky of Goodyear, Ariz., and many grandchildren. He is also survived by brother, Rabbi Avrohom Zaklikowski, and sister, Miriam Muskal of Brooklyn.
