Baruch Dayan Ha’emes: We regret to inform you of the Petirah of Harav Nachum Laskin Z’L, who was Niftar a short time ago at Kimball Medical Center following a lengthy illness. Reb Nachum Z”L, formerly of upstate NY – and a Chaplain at the Otisville Prison – has several children in Lakewood including R’ Yoey Laskin.
The Levaya will be taking place in Lakewood this evening at Zichron Pinchos (corner of Flintlock and Powderhorn) at 9:30 p.m.
The Kevurah will be taking place at the 7th Street Chapel.
Levaya is 9:30 p.m
Please double check time of the levaya I heard it was 830pm
just double checked, it’s 9:30 p.m
he has many son`s. One R` Yochanan is a tremendous lamdan who learns day & night. Another was a very close talmid of R shmuel Birnbaum.
The levaya is definitely 9:30.

#6, the real question is: Why do YOU have internet??
Plz don’t use this story to start an internet bickering. Plz keep all posts about R’ Laskin. I used to see him in the mountains from time to time when he used to daven in Fallsburg Yeshiva. He was huge tzaddik, an ish emes. Bd”e. YZ”B.
he has a son R’ Yitzchok Laskin who was a talmid muvhak of the rosh yeshivah r’ shumel berernbaum zt”l
rav yitzchok gave a fire shiur this morning.what a kiddush hashem!
BDE on Rabbi Laskin and Reb Dov Eisenberg. They were mechutunim via the marriage of their grandchildren and were niftar on the same day.
Just got back from the levaya. Such eidele kids he left over. mamash!
Where is the Shiva & what time are tefilos?
Rabbi Laskin was my Rabbi growing up in Woodbourne, New York. He taught me the meaning of the word pious and he lived a life of true learning and blessings. I admired him greatly and thought of him often. I am horribly saddened.
does anyone have shiva info?
I remember Rabbi Laskin from when he was the English principal at the South Fallsburg Yeshiva, many years ago. Whenever a teacher did not show up he would substitute the class and teach things about Halacha or Emunah and Betochon, or Parshas Hasovuah etc. On rainy days he would remind us of the goodness of rain and that we should be happy for it rather than complain. He had a golden heart and whenever a bochur had a problem in class Rabbi Laskin A”h would not yell at him or punish him, but rather would talk to him about ways of improving, about self worth, about Kidush Hashem and chilul Hashem,(a few of the English teachers were goyim).
He was a big mumche in being mechanech, with an understanding and feeling for the issues of American children. Thus He was zoche to children(and in turn Grandchildren) who are true Bnai Torah.
Hashem should send a nechomo to his whole family B’toch She’ar aveiley Tzion v’Yerushalayim.
