Yeshivah of South Jersey, a Yeshivah in Lakewood for Bachruim returning from Eretz Yisroel, was founded by Reb Refael approximately two years ago.
The Levaya will be taking place at 1:00 PM Sunday, Purim, at the 7th Street Chapel.

Levaya at 1 PM @ 7th Street Chapel
Was he orignially from Staten Island?
Reb Refael was special. Despite his ilness, he was constantly involved in Tzorche Tzibur and was always concerned about his fellow Yid. He is a big loss for Klal Yisroel.
Does he have children
Very sad. May his wife and children have the chizuk to emotionally survive this tragedy.
How does one explain to children “why Hashem didnt answer our tfilos”?
A very special Neshama from a very special Mishpacha.
BDE
He had 6 children
Yid (#14), you explain to the children that Hashem did answer their tefilos. Unfortunately, the answer was no. A freilechen Purim.
Yes he is from staten island
We were so heartbroken when we heard the news. There are no words which can express our grief. May hashem give koach to his family to move forward. May Refael Menachem meir be a meilitz yoshor. May hashem hear our tefilos and bring the geula b’korov, where we once again will re-unite with Reb Refael, and all our brothers and sisters who have gone to the olam haemes. We should only hear good news in klal yisroel. Amen Ken Yehi Ratzon.
To #14: The answer is that Hash-m asnwered our tefillos, the answer was no.
Yes he was originally from Staten Island.
Yes he was originally from Staten Island.
#14
It says that no tefillos go to waste..
Even if Hashem said NO to us now, the heartfelt tefillos of Klal Yisroel will surely provide a yeshuah and chizuck to the almanah and yesomim, and who knows what other tragedy or bad gezeiros have been annulled as a result of the tefillos.
Refoel, we will miss you! BDE
He learned in Staten Island, Passaic and then R’ Moshe Wolpin.
BDE.
So sad. So many young people with so many hardships. May we all use our tefillos on this special day to help bring some relief to klal yisroel!
Once in a while a person comes around with a vision a dream.
Once in while a person comes around who acts one those visions, on those dreams.
That was Reb Refael.
He had a plan.
His plan was to spread kvod shmayim.
His yeshiva was not the end.
To him his yeshiva was just the beginning.
What a loss.
For his family, for his friends, for his talmidim and for klal yisrael.
May Hashem give the family koach to continue on.
Did he also learn in Riverdale?
We loved him and his warm personality. Happy Purim
Bde a special yid
He was a real Rosh Yeshiva(together with his shutaf R Shalom Shlita YL”T) who genuine cared for his talmidim b’fraat and for every yid b’clal he was Adeenus Hanefesh and an Erliche Mentch his Shmoozin were Devorim Hayotzim min Halev and was holding by everything that came out of his mouth ! He had so much Kovod Habrios that just showed us his deep understanding of the Briah may the R”she give his wife and children the strength to carry on and be Michanech the kids in his ways until they reunite @ mashiach b’mhayra BYUMANU amen!!
Lately Reb Refael Z”L was involved with a lot of funding not only for his Yeshiva, but also for tzurchei harabim. I don’t know if he owes anyone money, but if he does and you can’t be moichel it bpeh, please let his brother Avrumi know about it and he’ll do his best to be mesader it. Please all who’ve ever felt slighted or mistreated by Reb Refael Z’L to say bpeh that your moichel him blev Shalem. Reb Refael was a person who was mekabel all and usually saw the good in others that they themselves didn’t. At this difficult time please do the same for his neshama. May we all share in simchos umacha Hashem Elokim dimah

Umacha Hashem
אחד מבני החבורה ידאגו כל החבורה I cant believe Refoel is no longer with us. He was so full of life, geshmak and upbeat, there was always that “good feeling” being around him. I remember the shabbos seudas, the “oilam” was always around him… Always a good vort, a good derher. He knew what to say when, had a good understanding of a situation and acted accordingly. His bain adom l’chavairo and sensitivities to others left a deep impression on all those that ever met him. What impressed me most about him, was his constant thirst to shtieg. Can’t say enough about him… יהי זכרו ברוך
shiva is at his home in Lakewood.there were people who recorded the levaya
