It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the petirah of Rabbi Yosef Basker z”l of Lakewood, NJ. He was 41.
Rabbi Basker was a beloved mechanech, teacher, and advocate who dedicated his life to the service of others.
Rabbi Basker was a teacher at Yeshiva Orchos Chaim, where his passion for Torah and chinuch left an indelible mark on his students.
He had previously taught at Yeshiva Tiferes Torah and also served as a teacher at Rav Noach Witty’s mesivta.
Beyond his contributions in the classroom, Rabbi Basker was also a tireless advocate for cholim, providing essential support and care to those in hospitals.
Rabbi Basker further enriched the lives of tinokos shel bais rabbon of the community by running the Pirchei and Mishnayos clubs at Rabbi Danziger’s shul in Raintree.
He leaves behind his wife, Shulamis, and their nine children.
The levayah will take place tonight at 10:15 p.m. at the Congregation Sons of Israel Holocaust Memorial Chapel, located at 613 Ramsey Avenue in Lakewood, NJ, followed by kevurah at the adjacent Mt. Sinai Cemetery.
Yehi zichro boruch.
