Rav Mattis Blum Author of Torah Ledaas Passes On

.                 


 Rav Matis Blum zt”l, rov of Cong. Torah Lodaas in Queens, NY, was niftar..
Rav Blum was an outstanding talmid chochom and mechaber seforim, whose many volumes of Torah Lodaas, containing his chiddushei Torah, can be found in botei medrash across the world.
Rav Blum was a talmid muvhak of Rav Avrohom Pam zt”l, under whom he learned at Yeshiva Torah Vodaas. In many of Rav Blum’s writings, Rav Pam is quoted copiously, and Rav Blum was a virtual treasure trove of insights, divrei Torah and stories from his rebbi.
Many knew Rav Blum through his enlightening divrei Torah sheets, titled Torah Lodaas, that were distributed to shuls. Decades ago, before others began distributing such publications, Rav Blum’s distinctive Torah Lodaas sheets – front half in Lashon Kodesh, back half in English – provided many people with the chizuk, inspiration and divrei Torah to infuse their Shabbos with meaning. Rav Blum began distributing these sheets over 40 years ago.
Rav Blum, who was well-versed in halacha as well, was a popular halacha teacher at Machon Bais Yaakov, and was beloved and respected by everyone who came into contact with him.
Rav Blum’s middos were sterling, and he carried himself with exceptional humility. His simchas hachaim, his love of people, and his tangible ahavas haTorah and yiras Shomayim served as examples to others.
About 12 years ago, Rav Blum’s first wife, Mrs. Etti Blum a”h, passed away. He was zocheh to remarry and leaves behind his rebbetzin, who was supremely dedicated to him.
Rav Blum is survived by his 10 children: Bina Katz, Shoshana Purec, Baila Malka Elephant, Tzvi Blum, Yocheved Burztyn, Bracha Tova zukatinski, Henoch Blum, Mordechai Blum, Yaakov Blum, and Shulamis Blum.
