Erev Yud Tes Kislev on Shabbos Kodesh


"It is with sadness that we report the ptirah of Rabbi Levi Yitzchok Horowitz, z"l, known as the Bostoner Rebbe of Boston, of Har Nof, Yerushalayim. Rabbi Horowitz was the son of Rabbi Pinchas Dovid and Rebetzin Sora Sosha Horowitz, and was the first American born Admur. He was a member of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah of Agudas Yisroel.

Rabbi Horowitz passed away on Shabbos afternoon in the Shaarei Tzedek Hospital, after his health had deteriorated in the past few weeks. He was 88 years old. His levaye is taking place at this time."

The Bostoner Rebbe was a friend of Lubavitch and a true fighter for Eretz Yisroel.
