What does the CEO of the organization that was established to fight for civil marriage, public transportation on Shabbat, and is waging a struggle for what it defines as "religious freedom" have to do with someone who was the greatest of the spreaders of the Torah of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, and who conceived and financed the printing and distribution of the "Davar Malchut" booklets?
Here are his words:
""The late Tobia Peles from Kfar Chabad, who was one of my father's dear friends, who is also no longer with us, passed away this morning.".
""Tobias was one of the greatest Jewish righteous men of our world, at least in my humble eyes. The concept of loving every Jew as he is was the definition of this wonderful man.".
""The one who was one of Ben-Gurion's guards at Sde Boker during his military service went on to establish a large and successful business, mount huge public campaigns to spread the words of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, and was one of his closest followers.".
""He also did many 'smaller' things, like coming to our wedding, on the lawn at the kibbutz, which was not a wedding at the rabbinate and probably not the wedding he would have chosen for himself or his children, but as a close friend of the family he chose to come along with his wife, Rivka, because he didn't judge anyone, but loved the late father, who unfortunately no longer had the privilege of attending our wedding.".
""A good man has left us, few of whom we have. May your memory be blessed, Tobias. We loved and still love you and the family.".
