It is with great regret we inform you of the Petirah of the Mashgiach of Telz Cleveland, Hagaon Rav Refoel Yisroel Yaakov Cohen ZT”L.
Reb Yankel (as he was fondly known), was a renowned Talmid Chochom, and who Hagaon Rav Chaim Kanievsky called the Masmid of America. He was beloved by thousands of Talmidim around the globe.
Reb Yankel Zatzal battled the Machla for approximately two years, and was Niftar this evening in the Tri-state area. He was 82.
Levaya details below.
Baruch Dayan Ha’emes.
