Monsey Scoop regrets to inform you of the sudden petirah of Chaim Tzvi (Chatzi) Katz, z”l, at the age of 28. Chatzi, a beloved baal menagen and musician, brought joy and spirit to countless simchos over the years.
Tragically, Chatzi collapsed on the second day of Rosh Hashanah in Mountaindale, NY, where he was spending the Yom Tov. Despite efforts to resuscitate him, he was niftar shortly afterward.
Chatzi, a longtime Monsey resident, was the son of Rav Elya Nota Katz, the rov of Khal Lev Avrohom in Lakewood, NJ, formerly of Monsey. He is survived by his father, three sisters, extended family, and countless friends and acquaintances.
The Levaya for Chatzi Katz Z”L is scheduled to take place at 1:00 PM Sunday, Tzom Gedaliah, at Merkaz Torah U’Tefillah, 157 Spruce Street, Lakewood, with Kevura in Lakewood.
