We regret to inform you of the sudden Petirah of Rabbi Avigdor Weitzner Z”L, who was suddenly Niftar on Shabbos. Rabbi Weitzner is the husband of Lakewood’s Bais Kaila principal, Mrs. Naomi Weitzner. He was approximately 75 years old.
The Levaya will be taking place at 11 a.m. Sunday at the Congregation Ohev Emes, 415 Raritan Avenue, (which is Route 27) Highland Park, NJ, 08904 .
The Niftar has many children and grandchildren in Lakewood.
Shivah will be taking place at 48 Cleveland Avenue in Highland Park.
Baruch Dayan Ha’emes.
This is a shock to me and to many other alumni. Mrs. Weitzner is a very special lady.
I remember him from Edison yeshiva. A very special person
His name was נחום אביגדר הכהן
Rabbi Weitzner was not a man who spoke without reason. He had a kind word for everyone. He will be missed. BDE
Bd”e. is he related to r’ Bentzion Weitzner shlit”a, the tzaddik that rins Yeshia k’tana ?
Yes it’s benzions father
is this Rabbi B weitzner administrator of yeshiva ketana’s father?? I know his parents live in highland park, can anyone confirm ?
My daughters are alumni of Bais Kaila and we are truly saddened by this news. Mrs. Weitzner always loved “her girls” in Bais Kaila. She is in our thoughts during this very difficult time. I hope to be able to be menachem avel as she always made sure to show up at my daughters’ chasunahs to say Mazel Tov.
Yes it is Rabbi Benzion Weitzner (administrator of a yeshiva in a lkwd)’s father
