BDE: Rav Moshe Zoberman, zt”l, Marbitz Torah to Thousands

YS GOLD 

With great sadness and anguish, the Boro Park community took in the news of the passing of one of the great Rabbonim and marbitzei Torah in the community. Rav Moshe Zoberman passed away this morning at the age of 72 following a lengthy illness. 

He was renowned far and wide for his shiurim which were delivered to thousands of people with crystal clarity - both in the Bobover Beis Medrash as well as at Khal Shomrei Shabbos. 

Rav Moshe was the son of Rav Elkonoh Zoberman, the Yardinover Rov, and the son in law of Rav Avrohom Baruch Rosenberger ABD Gamzu. 

He was a tremendous talmid chochom who had mastered all areas of Torah, and for decades, he was one of the greatest marbitzei Torah in the Boro Park community - in addition to the thousands who listened in to his recorded shiurim from around the world. 

Alas, he was forced to give up this great calling when he was stricken with illness for the last number of years, even as his recorded shiurim continued to sustain and inspire the masses. 

He returned his pure neshamah to its Creator this morning at the age of 72, leaving behind a beautiful Torah family of bnei Torah and rabbonim and marbitzei Torah. 

In a rare move, the Bobover Rebbe instructed the chevra kaddisha to hold the levaya inside the great Bobover Beis Medrash, in the same place where he delivered his Shiurim every morning, as a sign of respect and reverence to the great niftar who had spoken so many words of Torah within those very walls. The levaya will begin at 10:00. 

From Bobov, the levaya will proceed to Shomrei Shabbos on 13th Avenue where the niftar delivered nightly shiurim for many years. 

Kevurah will be on the Bobover Beis Hachaim in NJ. 

Yehi zichro Baruch.
