We regret to inform you of the Petirah of Reb Zechariah Wallerstein Z”L, who was Niftar following an illness.
Reb Zechariah Z”L was the founder of Ohr Naava, and a renowned educator and speaker. He was in his sixties.
The Levaya is scheduled to take place at Ohr Naava, 2201 East 23rd Street, Brooklyn, at 11am.
Baruch Dayan Ha’emes.
You can watch the Levaya live on Torahanytime.
Oy!! BDE!! As a typical Lakewood girl Rabbi wallerstien had a huge impact on me! His shiurim changed my outlook on yiddishkeit! He literally saved lives!! May he be a meilitz yosher for all of us.
One of the biggest aveides we have experienced in a while. who will take on all those farkrumte advisors and guidance counselors to children that are of the derech. his derech was right, yashar, clear and torah’dig. it had a great track record. And he had no problem telling these teenagers the way it is. He also had no problem telling those misguiding parents by normalizing the situation that he is a “rasha”. who will take his place? seems like he did his tafkid and we are not worthy of more. Hashem should watch over us… what a tragedy!
R’ Zechariah z’l was a very charismatic individual who utilized his charisma to bring indviduals closer to hkbh. May he be a malitz yosher and may his family find comfort amongst all the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem
WHAT A GIANT WE HAVE LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oy, Hashem we need the Geulah!!!! PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE AD MASAI!!!!! Yidden Need a life of Yiddishkeit! Please Hashem save us!!!!!!
BD”E. He did many great things!
I am not Jewish, but watched him every chance I could on TorahAnytime-what inspirational messages he gave and how fortunate we were to see his conviction and strength in these strange times. Condolences to his family and the community and to those who could only love him from a distance. He was a giant.
His presentation at the most recent agudah convention about the way people waste the gift of shabbos, was really an unbelievable goodbye present to klal yisroel. If you didn’t hear it, you must – even if you are not part of the crowd he was discussing. He had no problem stepping out of the box to get done what needs to be done to marbeh k’vod shomayim
