Please correct-I do not think he was called Reb Refoel, that name was added on 8 years ago….His real name was Reb Yitzchok…
Will there be any phone hook-ups?
BDE Does anyone know when the levaya is in EY?
Very Sad. He was my Rebbi in Pe-er HaTorah.
We got along Great. Besides being a Talmid Chochom, He Had a great smile.
I will always remember him Like that.
Levaya called for 1;30PM EREV SHABBOS in front of Rav Dovid Solovietick’s Yeshiva,the corner of Rch’ Grossberg and Eli HaKohen.
The levaya was very moving. Thw children really spoke well. May they knpw no more pain.

i remember him from a misameach call
Rabbi shechter was my rebbi, one could not ask for a kinder caring rebbi. at the end of our school year they would give out awards to student whom did well, i went over to rabbi scechter as to why i had not gotten one, i had applied myself and i thought i deserved one, rabbi shechter started crying…he didnt need to say anything, just watching him was enough for me, it made a huge impact, more then any award can accomplish. this was over a decade ago, i will never forget it. thank you rebbi
