It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the petirah of Rav Ahron Garfinkel zt”l, a longtime marbitz Torah. He was 78.
Rav Ahron had been in the hospital for an infection and his condition deteriorated.
A native of Monsey, NY, Rav Ahron was the mashgiach of Yeshivas Telz Chicago in the 1970s. Later, he was the head of Yeshiva Toras Chesed and a rebbi at Yeshiva Ohr Somayach in Monsey for many years.
He relocated to Jackson a few years ago to be closer to his children and grandchildren.
The levayah is being held at 2:30 p.m. today at the Congregation Sons of Israel Holocaust Memorial Chapel, located at 613 Ramsey Street, in Lakewood, NJ. The aron will then be flown to Eretz Yisroel for kevurah in Beit Shemesh.
The family will be sitting shivah at the home of Rav Aharon’s son, Rabbi Moshe Garfinkel, at 4 Katie Court in Lakewood, NJ.
The following is Zoom information for watching and listening to the levayah:
Yehi zichro boruch.
