BDE, He was a great person….
Oish. I davened in his shul a LOT as a bochur growing up in Boro Park. The Ruv was a massive Talmid Chacham. He also gave around 8 shiuim a DAY. Big loss. BDE.
BD’E. A huge loss to Klal Yisroel. Was a very special person, massive Talmud Chachum & a huge oiyvid Hasherm. A very sad day.
BDE
He was only sick since Friday morning.

how is this Lakewood news??
It is Lakewood news because he has many former mispalelim/ talmidim that currently live in Lakewood.
Also, Lakewood is Ihr Hatorah & he was Torah!
He gave an amazing hesped over 30 years ago in BMG for the Tselemer rov, Rav Breuer, and another great godol who was nifter at that time.
He stood for true Torah ‘fin da heim’ – gave up many things to be able to accomplish things for yiddishkeit that few could do as well as him. He never looked for kovod and was always upholding strong torah fundamentals – It is an unfathomable loss and he really is one of the last tzaddikim of that caliber- We are all orphans, and may he be a true meilitz yosher for klal yisroel and beg Hashem to send the Geulah
Hamakom yinachem eschem. What a terrible loss for all of us
