'''Tzaddik Halevi Nassofer''', (July 9, 1944 - May 8, 2025) known as “Charlie Buttons,” was a longtime [[Crown Heights]] resident. His father was Yisroel Eliezer Halevi, and his mother was Masha Rochel.

~~Nassofer~~ always stood out in the sea of the regular black-hatted [[Chassidim]] at [[Chabad]] [[Lubavitch]] World Headquarters—[[770 Eastern Parkway]]. He was lovingly known as Charlie Buttons for the buttons and pins stuck to his yarmulka. Most of these pins were Jewish-themed, such as the Rebbe’s 10 Mivtzoim (Tefillin and Shabbos), the Tzivos Hashem youth movement, Camp Gan Yisroel, and even one from the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA).

Charlie, always wearing a white shirt and jeans, was treated with much respect and affection by the [[Rebbe]]. He merited to bring a smile to the Rebbe’s face many times, as is evident from footage taken at the Rebbe’s Farbrengens, Kos Shel Bracha, Dollars and davening, and Lag BaOmer parades. It is said that Charlie loved making an L shape as a hand signal for “Lubavitcher Rebbe.”

Line 10:

A regular at Murphy’s Shul in Crown Heights, Charlie would bring joy to many when he appeared—often uninvited but always welcomed—at Sholom Zachors, L’chaim engagement parties, and weddings in the neighborhood. He was described as one who brought much joy and laughter to all.
