We regret to inform you of the Petirah of Rav Mordechai Marcus Z”L, Rav of the Lakewood Minyan on Coney Island in Flatbush. The Rav was Niftar late last night.
The Kevurah will be taking place in Lakewood.
The Levaya via Zoom is scheduled for 11:00 AM. Meeting id 87869821149, password 024588 call-in +1 346 248 7799 or +1 646 558 8656 with same meeting id and password.
Baruch Dayan Ha’emes.
Rabbi Marcus was an outrageous talmud chochom. On a completely different level than almost everyone else.
Humble as a shoemaker.
What a sad day.
Could not have said that any better. As great as he was a Talmud Chochum muflig, he was incredibly humble. A great loss to Klal Yisroel.
Hashem should comfort his Rebitzen and beautiful family.
Kol Hatorah Kulah with out exaggeration!The niftar was a living Shas!
Hashem is taking the best amomg us.Oy Vey, when is this going to end!
His chashvah family should have a nechamah.
Rav Marcus was a great man, an ilui atzum who was fluent in Bavli and Yerushalmi and more. He was one of the 4 most prominent editors of the Artscroll Hebrew and English Shas, along with Rav Ephraim Zuravin, Rav Chaim Malinowitz and R’ Yisrael Simchan Schor. May the family have a nechamah.
Very special man, big tzadik, I had the zechus of driving him on numerous occasions.

Does anybody know the Rav’s full Hebrew name? I would like to dedicate something l’zecher nishmaso. I believe his name was Mordechai Tzvi Halevi, but I don’t know his father’s name. It’s not included on the Misaskim listing like other niftarim, and I don’t want to bother the family today.
Is there a number to phone to be מנחם אבל ?
See here (scroll down) for the phone #s to be menachem avel the various family members:

The full name is (Rav) Mordechai Tzvi (Halevi) ben Moshe.
