We regret to inform you of the Petirah of Harav Meir Reuven Berkowitz Z”L, the Rav of the Whispering Pines Shul in Lakewood, who was Niftar this morning following a lengthy illness.
The Aron is scheduled to pass by BMG Yoshon at 12:00 noon, followed by the Levaya at 12:30 PM in Whispering Pines. Kevurah in Kiryas Yoel.
Baruch Dayan Ha’emes.
Bde we lost a tzadik and huge talmid chochem.
What a choshuva tzaddk he was – always with a heilige shining face – ready to listen to everybody – a huge talmid chochom who was the biggest expert in so many areas – very very tragic loss bde
What a tragic loss for Lakewood and all of Klal Yisroel.
He was a huge, huge talmid chochom and such a special tzadik. Oy what a loss!
Such a special, wonderful person. A walking Kiddush Hashem. There are no words. May Hashem have mercy on His people

I became very close with this Tzaddik when we used to Travel together on the Lkwd bus to Brooklyn… He was just an amazing Tzaddik. Fluent in all corners of Sha”s and Shulchan Aruch yet the most friendly, normal, smiley. down-to-earth guy you can ever wish to meet.
Recently I would see him when he went to pick up his Tzadeikess Rebbitzen from her job at Torah Treasures… I would ask him how he’s doing and, although clearly weak, he would still smile & say Boruch H-shem. I can go on & on but, truthfully, no post can do him justice.
