BDE: Berdichever Rebbe of Jersey City, zt”l

We are saddened to inform of the petirah of the Berdichever Rebbe, Rav Yitzchok Leifer, a scion of the Nadvorna dynasty, who lived in Boro Park into a decade ago, when he moved to Jersey City. 

He was born to his father, Rav Yosef Leifer, the Nadvona Rebbe of Petach Tikvah, in Temeshvar, Romania, after the war. 

His mother was Sarah, the daughter of Rav Aaron Aryeh Leifer of Bistritz, who married his father after she arrived as a refugee to the home of his grandparents. 

He married the daughter of Rav Mordechai of Zvehill, with whom he raised a family of ovdei Hashem and supporters of Torah. 

He presided over his beis medrash in Boro Park for many years, where the rebbe always served Hashem in a quiet manner, spending the majority of his days immersed in Torah and tefillah. 

Ten years ago he opened Kedushas Levi-Bardichev in Jersey City, where numerous people in the community found a warm corner of Torah and Chassidus, infused by the rebbe with warmth and avodah. 

The rebbe had not been well of late, and was niftar this morning at Maimonides Hospital. 

The levaya will take place at 12:30 at Shomrei Hadas—where he will be mourned by the many  who knew him, as well as his illustrious sons, and his daughters and their families who will continue to serve as a lasting legacy to the Rebbe and his holy predecessors.
