It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the passing of Rabbi Yosef Weiss zt”l of Lakewood. He was 59 years old.
Rabbi Weiss served as the menahel at Yeshiva Shaagas Aryeh, as well as the principal of the Satmar Cheder of Lakewood. A veteran mechanech, Rabbi Weiss devoted himself to the field of chinuch with great dedication for decades.
Rabbi Weiss was also the author of the popular Visions of Greatness series, published by CIS. Visions of Greatness contains hundreds of inspiring stories that have been enjoyed by thousands.
Rabbi Weiss was ill for an extended period of time and later contracted Covid-19 some months ago and battled valiantly.
The levayah is scheduled to take place at 1:30 p.m. at the parking lot of Lake Terrace Hall off of Oak Street in Lakewood. Kevurah will follow at the bais hachaim off of East Seventh Street in Lakewood.
Yehi zichro boruch.

I believe he suffered from yeneh machla
Writing here that it was corona only serves to scare people.
One word to describe him…..a tzadik
He was a special yid ! Irreplaceable! Like a father to all his Talmudim ! We are heartbroken ! (Was extremely sick with cancer, Covid may have been the final blow but I don’t think this can be characterized as a Covid death)
Call in numbers for Levaya @ 1:30
857-356-3300 & 612-398-0330
It will also be live streamed
Rav Yosef’s petira had nothing to do with covid so I’m not sure why your putting that in.
WHY ARE YOU FEAR MONGERING ON COVID??????
he was unfortunately sick for a while before covid!
BDE!!
Another great loss!
RABBI WEISS HAD CANCER FOR THE LAST YEAR & A HALF! STOP BLAMING EVERY DEATH ON COVID!
The Lakewood community was davening for him for a long time, well before the covid era. I believe he had yenna machla.
Covid had nothing to do with it. Please stop this fear mongering with covid.
