We regret to inform you of the Petirah of Reb Ozer Yonah Kushner Z”L, a long time Maggid Shiur in Mesivta of Long Beach. He was 82 years old.
Reb Kushner, a resident of Lakewood, taught Torah in many cities throughout the United States and Mexico, including 26 years in Long Beach.
He was a Talmid of the Vilna Dayan, Reb Yisroel Gustman.
The Levaya is scheduled to take place at 4pm at the Congregation Sons of Israel Holocaust Memorial Chapel, 613 Ramsey Street Street in Lakewood.
The Kevurah will take place on Har Hamenuchos.
Baruch Dayan Ha’emes
THE NAME IS OZER YONAH
His name was Ozer Yonah not Lazer
his name is OZER Yonah not LEIZER
he taught in many cities through out the USA as well as Mexico, a true soldier of torah in its purest form. A talmud of Reb Yisroel Gussman, the Vilna dayan
I don’t think he was “the” vilna dayan . He was a dayan on R’ Chaim oizers bes din . His name was R’ yisruel zev Gust- man !
GREAT person, I remember him playing paddle ball every Friday at pine park.was so nice to see a yid Talmud Chacham doing some chilutz atzumois
My son was lucky enough to have him as a Rebbi for 1 year. He left an amazing impression on him and earned an incredible degree of respect and reverence at a time when the world is becoming more and more cynical.
Was the levaya recorded? Anyone have a link?
