It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the petirah of Rabbi Avrohom Pinter zt”l of Stamford Hill, London.
Rabbi Pinter was a leading askan in the community in Stamford Hill, serving as a local councillor and as the principal of Yesoday Hatorah Girls’ School.
Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis wrote: “I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Rabbi Avraham Pinter z”l. Rabbi Pinter was known to many as a tireless representative of the Jewish community in Stamford Hill… I will remember him as an eved Hashem with a kind heart and an unwavering commitment to his community. His loss will be widely felt across Anglo Jewry and beyond. Yehi zichro baruch.”
TheJC.com quoted Board of Deputies President Marie van der Zyl as writing: “Rabbi Pinter was a much loved figure across the community, building bridges between different groups of Jews, Government & wider UK society… He will be deeply missed by all of us who had the privilege to know him.”
Rabbi Pinter made a kiddush Hashem in everything he did, and his passing leaves a gaping void in the community.
Yehi zichro boruch.
