It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the passing of Rav Yosef Yitzchok Feigelstock zt”l, rosh yeshiva of Mesivta of Long Beach.
Rav Feigelstock, one of the ziknei roshei yeshivos in the United States, was a member of the Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah of Agudas Yisroel of America.
Rav Feigelstock was a son of Rav Avrohom Feiglestock. He learned in his younger years at Beth Medrash Govoha in Lakewood, becoming a leading talmid of Rav Aharon Kotler zt”l, who held Rav Feigelstock in tremendously high esteem.
Rav Feigelstock later went on to lead his own yeshiva, Mesivta of Long Beach, turning it into one of the most prestigious Torah institutions in America. For over half of a century, he led the yeshiva, guiding talmidim through their yeshiva years and well beyond.
Rav Feigelstock’s shiurim, shmuessen and divrei Torah inspired bnei Torah during their formative years, as they were enthralled by his unique combination of high level lomdus with penetrating hashkafah, a beacon of purity and clarity.
The levayah will be held at Mesivta of Long Beach, located at 205 W Beech St in Long Beach, NY. Kevurah will then be held at the bais hachaim off of East Seventh Street in Lakewood, NJ.
Yehi zichro boruch.
