UPDATED: Sudden Petirah of Reb Zalman Malinowitz Z’L

candleWe regret to inform you of the sudden Petirah of Reb Zalman Malinowitz Z”L. Reb Zalman reportedly suffered a massive heart attack at his home today while walking on the treadmill, going into Cardiac Arrest.

Multiple Hatzolah members were at his home immediately after the incident, but were unfortunately unable to resuscitate him. He was 58.

Reb Zalman Z”L, a Rebbe in Darchei Torah in Far Rockaway, New York and known for his dedication in overseeing the BMG Vasikin Minyan, leaves behind his wife and many children and grandchildren. Mrs. Malinowitz served as a principal in a Deal, NJ girls high school, and currently serves as the principal in Bnos Bracha in Lakewood.

The Levaya will be taking place at the BMG Yoshon at 7 PM, after which the Aron will be flown to Eretz Yisroel via JFK for Kevurah.

    We’re at a water park with several Bnos Bracha girls. 3rd grade and under, I don’t have the heart to tell them this news.

  4. Please post the Eretz Yisroel Levaya information when it is available. There are Talmidim in Eretz Yisroel that would like to attend.

  5. Does anyone know how we can get a recording of the Lkwd BMG levaya?
    Some family members missed it and would like to hear it.

  6. Baruch Dayan Emes. I knew R’ Zalman very well. He was part of my extended family. I feel like the breath has been taken out of me. This is truly a tremendous loss for klal yisroel. He was so unique in that he had so a drive and a passion to serve hashem and to do chesed together with his warmth and love he had for his family, talmidim and every jew. I have a picture of him in my mind of him walking home after vasikin on shabbos with a family member with such a smile on both of their faces. He touched so many people and when I was with him I felt like I was his best friend. My family all are crying and he be will sorely missed. This is horrible and terribly painful and let us all daven for moshiach and techias hamasim sppedily in our days

  7. He was an incredible rebbi taught me how to learn and to enjoy learning.
    Always was was full of fire with a great upbeat personality. Always knew how to get the best out of each of his students.

  8. to # 12 what should we each do in his zechus? Take care of his Almanah and learn Mishnayos lelu nishmas. That is what yidden have been doing for a long time.

  9. To the one who asked. Yes the almanah is the one who runs her mothers school. Bnos Brocha
    In the future please respect the moisad and find out it’s name when referring to it. It’s not the place to just say Muriks school or Notis”s place etc. , imagine if you gave a lot of money to honor your Grandmothers name and everybody called it Shragies joint??
