Brilliant and Humble

DAVID SACHS CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

For more than 40 years, Rabbi Moshe Zaklikofsky — affectionally known as Rabbi Z — served Metro Detroit as an emissary of the Chabad-Lubavitch Rebbe Menachem M. 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 eagleeyed 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

Rabbi Moshe Zaklikofsky

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.

He was born and raised in Brooklyn in 1937, while the Dodgers were still in town. Ebbets Field was his temple, and “the boys of summer” were his heroes. He attended James Madison High School and received a B.A. in English from Long Island University. He then went on to earn a M.A. in hospital administration from Columbia University. After a one-year residency at Beth Israel Hospital, he was recruited in 1963 to Sinai Hospital of Detroit as assistant administrator.

Upon returning to Detroit, Bob was active in the community, including Jewish Vocational Services and the Small Business Association SCORE, and he helped bring a senior transportation program to the Detroit area. Bob’s dream was always to be a writer. Throughout his life, he wrote poetry and prose, but it was in retirement, Diary, that he was able to devote significant time to pursue his passion. Nine books and several awards later, his Harry Grouch series of detective novels continue to generate a devoted following, and his book Thirsty Planet has received numerous awards and has been translated into several languages globally. In retirement, Bob and Elaine wintered in Boynton Beach, Fla. In addition to writing, Bob’s passions in life included travel, hiking, golf, politics and his cherished ROMEO burger club.
