Monsey Scoop regrets to inform you of the petira of Reb Yosef Yehuda Rothenberg Z”L, a tremendous gaon and beloved talmid chochom from the Monsey community. He was 77 years old.
The niftar was the son of the legendary Rav Moshe Rothenberg Z”L, a talmid of the Lubliner Yeshiva and the Rosh Yeshiva of the Gerer Mesivta in Boro Park. Raised in a home steeped in Torah, Rav Yosef Yehuda Z”L carried that legacy forward with a deep, unwavering love for Torah and tefillah that remained with him throughout his life.
He spent his days immersed in limud haTorah, and his tefillos were known to be heartfelt and inspiring. Though he endured illness in recent years, he accepted his yissurim with true emunah and humility.
The Levaya took place this morning (Thursday) at his home on Maple Terrace in Monsey. It then passed by the Amshinover Shtiebel—where he was a regular mispalel—before proceeding to JFK Airport for kevurah in Eretz Yisroel.
Baruch Dayan Haemes…….
