Over the joyous days of Sukkos, the Munkatcher kehillah lost a dear and beloved chaver who left this world following a long illness. 

Reb Yehoshua Gedalia Gelb was 77 years of age. 

Friends and acquaintances recall an individual who was known for his ehrlichkeit and his devotion to everything involving Torah and yiddishkeit, and Munkatcher Chasidim relate with nostalgia about the years that Reb Yehoshua Gedalia ben Moshe Tzvi served as the devoted gabbai of, ybl"ch, the Munkatcher Rebbe. He was known throughout the chassidus to fiercely guard the Rebbe's time and his kavod. He was deeply devoted to the Rebbe, shlit"a, and this will surely serve as a zechus for him as he ascends to the World of Truth. 

The niftar was unwell for many years, and left this world on Chol Hamoed Sukkos. 

The levaya took place in front of the Munkatcher Shul on Hoshanah Rabba night with the participation of many chassidim, family, friends and admirers. 

The niftar was laid to rest on the munkatcher chelka in New Jersey. 

Yehi zichro baruch.
