As Reported By The New York Daily News:
Nachman Kletzky looked down at his son’s coffin and solemnly thanked God for the few years he shared with his now-slain son.
Clutching a podium at the little boy’s funeral in Borough Park on Wednesday, he said in a humble voice, “God gives and God takes. Thank you, God, for giving you to us for nine years.
“We have to thank you for what You gave us.”
Leiby’s ninth birthday would have been next week.
Standing before thousands of black-clad mourners in traditional Orthodox Jewish dress, Kletzky added through tears, in Yiddish, “Pray for your sisters and the rest of your family, including the entire Jewish nation, which is now part of our family.”
Throngs of mourners packed into a narrow Brooklyn parking lot outside the Hechal Hatfila temple on Wednesday night for the funeral of murdered schoolboy Leiby Kletzky. Orthodox Jews from across the tristate area attended the service for the 8-year-old and offered their support to his devastated family.
