Baruch Dayan Ha’emes: We regret to inform you of the passing of R’ Avraham Weitman Z’L, who was Niftar on Shabbos. R’ Avrohom Z’L was visiting Eretz Yisroel for a Simcha approximately two weeks ago, and suffered a Stroke. He was 78. The Levaya was held this evening in Eretz Yisroel.
His children, R’ Lipa, Mrs. Rivka Kanarek (wife of R’ Shloime Chaim) and Ms. Shani Weitman, will be sitting Shiva at the home of the Niftar, 626 9th Street.
Umacha Hashem Dimah Me’al Kol Panim.
There is another daughter who lives in Eretz Yisroel, Mrs. Hindy Steif.
R’Avraham z”l was a very special man and a talmid chacham. He had a close kesher with the Kapischnitzer Rebbe zatzal. I feel extremely privileged to have known him. Yehi zichro baruch.
A very very special person. His son R’ Yankie was making a chasuna is EY. I spoke to him before he left. This was a total shock!
There is also another son R’ Yaakov shlita living in Eretz Yisroel.
