We regret to inform you of the Petirah of Habachur Chaim Rosenberg Z”L, a Bachur from BMG, who was suddenly Niftar today in Lakewood.
Chaim Yitzchok ben Reb Yaakov Z”L, approximately 37, and from Bergenfield, New Jersey, fell ill today, and was transported by Hatzolah to Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus, Hatzolah officials tell TLS. A couple of hours later however, he suddenly went into cardiac arrest at the hospital.
Hatzolah Paramedics were summoned to the hospital by Bikur Cholim and worked on the patient for approximately one hour, but resuscitation efforts were unfortunately unsuccessful.
The Levaya will be taking place at 8:40 AM on Sunday at the BMG Yoshon Bais Medrash. The Kevura will take place in Paramus, NJ.
Baruch Dayan Ha’emes.

Bbaruch dayen emes
Baruch Dayan Hames, Thank You Hatzolah and Bikur Cholim for your efforts.
Baruch Dayan Ha’emes. Know him since childhood. He crossed so many bridges. And was good with everyone.
You don’t need to stigmatize him that he wasn’t married. It should state r Chaim and that’s it. A little respect plz.
Wow, no words! Baruch Dayin Ha’emes. I, and many others, will miss him!
BD”E
Please post Levaya Details as soon as they are available.
Are there 2 chaim rosenberg?
Since when does a hospital summon Hatzalah when an in patient goes into cardiac arrest ?
@Nate
Very likely. See the details above to determine if it’s the one you arw thinking of.
I only got to know Chaim recently. I will miss him dearly, he was such a Mentch.
What a tragedy. Bd’e
Chaim had a heart of gold , was such a good person always did favors for othes .He never put himself first and always had a smile on his face . He was a loveble guy to all yeshiva bochurim in Bmg.
I am already missing him.
Chaim daven for us.
Oy vey! Bde. What is happening to us here in lakewood?! Need a Teshuva now campeign quickly.
Hashem yiracheim.
Bde. He was a special guy. I knew him from bmg days. Always had a smile on his face. He was always happy and made everyone happy.
He will be truly missed
a picture would be helpul. I’m sure many of us in yeshiva know him by face.
I had the zchus to be his friend the few years that I spent in BMG… this is devastating news!
Chaim, Chaim! Hashem knows that you had a HUGE heart, the most sincere and sweetest person I’ve ever met!
When you saw me, you went out of your way to give me a smile and pat on my back.
Whenever I was down, I knew I could count on your wonderful sense of humor to lift me up!
You made my ‘dorm-life’ pleasant, and I always looked forward to hanging out in your room on the 3rd floor at the end of a long day.
Anyone who wanted to let off steam knew you were the right address. A Siyum in your room late night, or just fun times talking.
Despite losing your father at a young age, your mother was moser nefesh to send you away to a Torah environment.
Instead of being bitter, all the hardships that you experienced in your life just made you more accepting, more sincere and more caring and understanding towards your chaverim.
I always knew that I had an honest and caring heart to unload my burdens to, and you had an uncanny way of showing that you can relate to others.
I honestly loved you, and your friendship will remain in my heart forever!
May your Neshama have the highest of Aliyos… yehi zichro baruch.
R’ Chaim Z”l once spent his summer vacation together with me in Toronto raising funds for a local yeshiva that caters to boys on the fringe. I asked him if he’d be interested, and he just said ‘let’s do it’. That was him, he always had the most amazing heart for every type of yid!
Your selflessness and sincerity, along with your hilarious sense of humor made you the most enjoyable person I’ve ever been around.
This is such devastating news… an amazing person cut off at such a young age… may Hashem reward you tenfold for all the good and positive impacts that you’ve made on myself and many others.
Yehi Zichro Baruch…
Don’t confuse him with Habochur Chaim Shmill Rosenberg
Chaim traveled in several circles and was a friend to all. From YU to Lakewood, his simcjas hachaim was palpable.
Reb Chaim we will miss you. You always had a kind word for everyone. You were extremely careful about other people’s feelings, all your words were measured and well thought out. You devotion to Torah and your sacrifice to live within the walls of the Yeshiva is a testament to your true Torah values. Yehi Zichro Boruch.
How about instead of hatzolah being summoned you state the hard effort of the nurses doctors and techs who rushed to try and help him. Hatzolah doesn’t get “summoned” and did not “work on the patient” Pay some respect to the ones who deserve it. And RIP to the patient.
from his days in meveseret to beis yisroel to YU, Ohr hachaim & BMG. he was a chaver to all.
For those looking for a better description:
Kenny grew up in Teaneck, and his family was From Washington Heights before that. He went to yu before bmg, and he loved going to weddings. He had friends from lots of different circles.
To citizen: Hatzolah medics are summoned bc the ER docs work on a cardiac arrest for a short amount of time before calling it. Whereas Hatzolah would keep on trying….
Can some one please post more details of the kvura. Which cemetery? Address?
Reb Chaim was amazing, he had a real understanding of chinuch, and gave tutoring to lots of kids. He was available to lein at a moments notice anywhere. he had talent and had been accepted to several graduate schools, but only wanted to learn. Not a simple thing, and he did learn with real Ahavas Hatorah. He lost his father at a young age, his father had been a frum doctor known for the thousands of toivos he did for others…. tragically the father had (I think) a kidney pancreas transplant and it was successful but he got sick and died not long after.
His mother is a dedicated nurse, and wonderful human being, frummer genuine people….. Hashem should heal their broken hearts.
Chaim (Kenny) and I have been the oldest and closest friends for 30 years. It is so touching to read all of these comments – all so very true. Kenny was an incredible person who never complained about the difficulties he faced, especially when his father passed away when we were young. His simchas ha’chaim defined him. His ahavas Yisroel enabled him to cut through many circles, but there was always one common denominator – everyone loved him.
To my dear friend – you will be terribly missed, but the zchusim will continue through the lives you touched all these years.
The yekkee kehilla has a chelka in a cemetery in Paramus nj his father a”h
is buried their he will be nuried near his father
Chaim always had a smile and made an effort to be misameach each chossen as if he were a brother. I remember him dancing and partaking in my wedding although I was much younger than him. His happiness was contagious! Chaim you will be missed by all that love you. Your special heart will be missed by all. You were truly a remarkable human being, and a real mench! Please beg the robono shel Olam to bring moshiach.

There is a campaign to write a sefer torah L’ilui Nishmas.
https://thelakewoodscoop.com/2015/06/friends-of-chaim-rosnberg-zl-set-up-online-campaign-for-sefer-torah.html
I just donated. would be an incredible zchus for the niftar.
TO ALL THE ABOVE POSTS. I DOUBT CHAIM WILL BE ABLE TO READ YOUR MESSAGE TO HIM ON THE SCOOP IN SHAMAYIM MAYBE A KABALLAH OR TZEDAKAH WILL DO A LOT MORE FOR HIS NESHOMA. JUST SAYING
Dear “A Sefer Torah,”
What would you say if Chaim’s mother, brother or closest friend (like myself) read your comment? We all know that. These comments help promote the Kiddush Hashem he stood for.
The negative, condescending comment is directly k’neged what my friend of over 30 years stood for. Just saying.
Reb Chaim ZT”L was a very old and dear friend of mine. As I sit here in shock I recall how he hoisted me on his shoulders years ago at my simchah. I only hope to emulate his ways of ahavas Yisrael, chesed for others and feelings of true simcha for others. Yehi zichro baruch.
chaim will be extremly missed we have no words to discribe this mench im sitiing here crying
I knew Chaim very well he was a bright intelligent person we slept on the same floor in the dorm and he was by far the friendliest person I know anytime we passed each other he always had time to stop and schmooze we would talk about anything from yidishkeit to sports and everything inbetween even when he looked like he was rushing he would stop and listen he had the ability to put a smile on my face no matter what mood I was in I will miss him dearly I truly loved him goodbye c-row
These are several resources from ChevrahLomdeiMishnah.org that I have found to be helpful during times of tragedy or loss:
A DVD called Nichum V’Nechamah – A Guide to the Mitzvah of Nichum Aveilim, which has a lot of really good speakers discussing loss and giving comfort
Comfort, Courage and Clarity, a blog by Mrs. Miriam Ribiat about mourning and loss
The Neshamah Should Have an Aliyah, a book that explains what we can do for the neshamah of the niftar
I was crying away today at the Levaya thinking how Chaim is no longer with us. I would now walk into yeshiva and wont have Chaim there to greet me with his happy smile and his joyous greetings which always made everyone feel so good. Chaim we will all miss you and your memory will stay with us forever. Daven for us Chaim!
Chaim was such a lovable person. He was a true ohaiv Yisroel .He was humble, and moser nefesh for the study of TORAH . He had opportunities to go and study in Ivy League universities and turned it down to continue learning. Additionally he gave up a life of comfort all he knew to find a new makom a place where he can grow in the ways of hashem.
I just realized I knew Chaim too, by unfortunately only by face, not by his name. I used to see him around on shabbasim at Beth Abraham in Bergenfield, NJ. What a nice and sweet person Chaim was… always chapped a schmooze with him about different zmanim and minhagim etc., oh, and a what a great baal koreh he was. Can’t believe I won’t be seeing him around anymore. Yehi zichro baruch!
