Harav Shmuel Shmelke Leifer zt”l of Boro Park, passes away.
Throughout his life, Rav Shmuel was a sought-after speaker, whose sagely advice was absorbed by thousands of people. He was particularly vocal about his opposition to yeshivos turning bochurim away, which he strongly believed them astray.
He was also the rav hamachshir on many kosher eateries in Boro Park for several decades.
The levayah is scheduled to take place Monday morning at his Beis Medrash at 16th Avenue & 55th in Boro Park.
He actually had such a yesiva for many years, where he would accept everyone, and try to work with each one separately
ReplyDeleteChuster Rebbe, not Chuster Rav. Chuster Rav B.P. was R. Pinchus Horowitz of the Bostoner dynasty.
ReplyDeleteHe never gave hashgocha on food. He was a magid shiur then rosh yeshivah of Toras Chesed, in B.P.
ReplyDeleteYou are mistaken about Chuster shgoocha.
ReplyDeleteThere are many people calling themselves Chuster Rebbe / Ruv.
R' Fishel Senderovitz, Chuster Ruv, was hired by Vizhnitz Willy to be rav hamachshir of fress gesheften under their kehilla.
R' Pinchus Horowitz, Chuster Ruv, is the nebichel who is not all there who at one time had many restaurants. He calls himself Kosher Certified Underwriters. He got in major hot water when he certified an Italian goy pizzeria across the street from Chaim Berlin. R' Aron Schechter was coming out after Shabbos Mussaf with his chassidim tagging along and they all see the goy is open for business with the ovens fired up, making pizzas! The Chaim Berlin oylam freaked out and Horowitz quickly lost most of his accounts.
There are more than a half dozen Leifers currently alive who call themselves the Chuster, not limited to at least 2 more with the same first names as the niftar.
Heck, even the husband of molester Malka Leifer rift zich Chuster Rebbe!
