A great scholar is hard to replace when he departed to the eternal resting place.

If we will use only beautiful phrases

And not words that are simple and plain,

If we will give him a thousand praises

Our words will not be uttered in vain.

His knowledge of the Bible was deep and wide, The secrets of the Talmud he knew well. His treasure of wisdom was a real guide To those who drank from that living well.

He was always humble in every way

A helping hand he extended to every man,

Of the word of God he spoke every day

These are the virtues of Rabbi Kleban.

May the spirit of his good deeds and wisdom Be to us a source of great inspiration, May his noble soul in heavenly kingdom Pray for a speedy redempion of our nation.
