It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the petirah of Rabbi Nochum Frankel zt”l.
Rabbi Frankel was a longtime resident of Monsey, NY, a beloved member of the College Road neighborhood. In Monsey, he was mechanech generations of Yiddishe kinder, teaching in various mosdos for decades.
His passion for chinuch was matched only by the deep care he had for each and every student. He did not merely teach. He inspired. With his ever-present warmth, gentle demeanor, and heartfelt sincerity, Rabbi Frankel instilled in his students a love for Torah, yiras Shomayim, and middos tovos that stayed with them long after they left his classroom.
What stood out most about Rabbi Frankel was not just his dedication to his teaching, but the kindness and humanity that radiated from him in all areas of life. Whether offering a listening ear, a word of encouragement, or a gut vort, he had a way of making others feel seen and valued. His quiet humility and unwavering integrity left an indelible mark on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
During recent years, even after relocating with his wife to The Enclave in Lakewood, the Frankels would spend the week in Monsey, where Rabbi Frankel continued to teach, including at Bais Yaakov, where he taught for many years.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Henny Frankel, and a wonderful family of prominent bnei and bnos Torah making their mark on their respective communities.
The levayah will be held on Sunday at 11:30 a.m. at the Congregation Sons of Israel Holocaust Memorial Chapel, located at 613 Ramsey Avenue, off of East 7th Street, in Lakewood, NJ.
Yehi zichro boruch.
