Condolence: Rabbi Ackerman was a wonderful man and a Jewish hero for the lower east side, his friends were many and he will be missed by my family and many others. Sending sincerest condolences to his beloved children and his congregation.

Condolence: I cannot begin to express my sincere gratitude to Rabbi Ackerman for playing such a profound role in the religious life of my whole family.
My family was lucky enough to have three generations under his spiritual guidance. I was introduced to Rabbi Ackerman by my Grandmother when I visited her in New York. I will never forget his service for her at her passing, he was truly a great friend of everyone in the shul.
When I moved to the city after graduation from college, Rabbi Ackerman kindly welcomed me into his congregation. I quickly became a regular attendee at his shul, who could turn down a phone call to join the minion. He opened my eyes to a world of religious knowledge and understanding; before studying with him I didn’t even know how much I didn’t know.
He has been my spiritual guide for the last 15 years and will be forever more. I was lucky enough that Rabbi Ackerman presided over my son’s bris just a few months ago, I was so honored that he would attend.
He was an incredible Rabbi; wise, compassionate, kind and selfless. His spirit lives on in everyone who was lucky enough to know him.
My deepest condolences to his family, your father led a remarkable life, thank you for sharing him with us.

Condolence: Rabbi Pesach Ackerman OBM was an inspiration to everyone fortunate enough to pass through the doors of Anshei Mezritch Shul. He always encouraged me in my Chazzanut and gave me every opportunity to lead services for which I will be forever grateful. We will never forget his legendary drashas, his terrific sense of humour and ahavas Yisroel towards everyone, his wonderful leadership of sedorim,and a truly incredible pidyon haben ceremony for my son Sam. He brought the nicety out in others, never complained and always showed kindness and compassion. He was my Rav, spiritual guide, my friend and one of the very best men I have ever had the privilege of knowing. He is now in Shamayim and may his memory and chessed be a guide to us all. Sincere Condolences to his beloved Children.
