Mordechai Marcus ZT”L, Rov of Lakewood Minyan of Flatbush

 Hagaon HaRav Mordechai Marcus ZT”L, the Rov of the Beth Medrash Govoha Minyan (Lakewood Minyan) in Flatbush was nifter this morning .. He was 78 years old.

Rav Marcus, rov of the Lakewood Minyan in Flatbush, was one of Brooklyn’s most prominent talmidei chachomim.

In his younger years, Rav Marcus was a talmid at Yeshivas Rabbeinu Yaakov Yosef (RJJ). Even as a young ben Torah, he was already recognized for his brilliance. It was said that even the rabbeim respected Rav Marcus, knowing that in a moment he could refute a sevara or shlog up a shiur.

With a grasp of all of Shas and Shulchan Aruch, Rav Marcus’s breadth and depth of yedios haTorah were breathtaking. His talents and encyclopedic knowledge benefited the ArtScroll Schottenstein Gemara, for which he served as an editor, as well as those who attended his many shiurim.

Equal to his absolute brilliance in Torah, Rav Marcus was as humble a person as one could meet, with sterling middos and deference for every individual, no matter who they were.

Rav Marcus is survived by his rebbetzin and children, bnei Torah and marbitzei Torah, and grandchildren.
