Monsey Scoop regrets to inform you of the sudden and untimely petira of HaRav Yitzchok Spitzer Z”L, a distinguished Dayan in Skvere and a prominent Mohel, who was niftar on Tuesday afternoon at the age of 68.
Harav Yitzchok Spitzer Z”L was widely revered for his deep knowledge of Halacha and unwavering dedication to Limud HaTorah. Known throughout the Skvere Kehilla and beyond, his halachic rulings were marked by clarity, depth, and sensitivity, even in the most complex situations. His decades as a Dayan and Mohel touched the lives of countless families.
Tragedy struck Tuesday morning while the Niftar Z”L was inspecting a mikvah in a private home on Lincoln Avenue in New Square. He was found unconscious at the scene. New Square Hatzolah responded immediately and worked tirelessly to revive him, but despite their efforts, he was sadly Niftar.
His sudden petira has left his family, the Skvere Kehilla, and all who knew him in deep shock and mourning. He is the father of Zevy Spitzer, the well-known coordinator of Ershte Hilf.
The Levaya will take place Tuesday at 3:30 PM at the Skvere Bais Medrash in New Square.
Baruch Dayan HaEmes.
