Hagaon HaRav Yaakov Landau zt”l, was niftar following a lengthy illness. He was in his mid-70s.
Rav Yaakov was a beloved 9th grade rebbi at Yeshiva Torah Temimah in Brooklyn for many years before eventually moving to Lakewood after nearly three decades at the yeshiva.
In Lakewood, he became the rav of K’hal Chanichei Hayeshivos and opened Mesivta Tiferes Shmuel, where he served as rosh yeshiva to throngs of talmidim who followed his every word.
Over his life, he was marbitz Torah to thousands of talmidim, many of whom have gone into klei kodesh themselves.
Rav Yaakov zt”l is survived by his rebbetzin, Mrs. Esti Landau, his children – Rabbi Chaim Shalom Landau, Rabbi Chezky Landau, Rabbi Moshe Leib Landau, Rabbi Aharon Landau, Rabbi Avrohom Yitzchok Landau, Rabbi Shmuel Dovid Landau, Rabbi Boruch Ber Landau, Rabbi Zalman Landau, Mrs. Elisheva Fuerst – and numerous grandchildren.
R’ Moshe Zuckerman z”l of Toms River was niftar over Shabbos after suffering a sudden stroke last week. He was 54.
R’ Moshe was well known and highly regarded from his work at the takeout section of Seasons supermarket in Lakewood, where he greeted each and every customer with a smile and genuine friendliness.
The levaya is scheduled to take place at 10:30 am at Rabbi Rotberg’s shul, 1871 Old Freehold Road in Toms River. Kevurah will be in Eretz Yisroel.
The family will be sitting shiva at 2119 Orien Road in Toms River.
We regret to inform you of the petirah of R’ Aharon Schwartzman z”l. He was 74.
A renowned talmid chochom and mechutan of HaRav Shlomo Miller shlit”a, R’ Aharon was a close talmid of HaRav Shmuel Berenbaum zt”l, R’ Aharon was sought by many for his breadth of wisdom and deep insight. He was a longtime Flatbush resident who recently relocated to Lakewood. He Davened for decades at the Mirrer Yeshiva in Brooklyn.
The levaya is scheduled to take place at 11 am on Sunday morning at the 7th Street Chapel in Lakewood, 613 Ramsey Avenue. Kevurah will take place in Eretz Yisroel.
