It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the petirah of Rabbi Avrohom Stefansky zt”l.
Rabbi Stefansky was a talmid of Bais Medrash Govoah in Lakewood during the early days of the yeshiva, drawing close to the rosh yeshiva, Rav Aharon Kotler zt”l, whom he would drive and accompany on a regular basis. Rabbi Stefansky was an indispensable meshameish to Rav Aharon, who was forever grateful to his talmid for his support and assistance during those years.
Ultimately, Rabbi Stefansky relocated to Eretz Yisroel. In 1989, he became director general of Neve Yerushalayim. While serving as a right hand to Neve founder Rabbi Dovid Refson, Rabbi Stefansky provided extraordinary leadership to the institution and was as a spiritual inspiration to the staff and students.
The levayah is being held now, at 2 p.m., at the Bendheim Bais Medrash of Bais Medrash Govoah, located at 617 6th Street in Lakewood, NJ.
Yehi zichro boruch.
