Hasidic Jews from as far away as Montreal to upstate New York and New Jersey converge in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, to mourn Rabbi Chaskel Werzberger, a popular figure in the community described as a “father to everyone.” Werzberger was shot in the head on Feb. 8, 1990 in a botched robbery. He died four days later.
