We regret to inform you of the Petirah of Reb Yoni Kantor Z”L, who was Niftar today at the age of 54.
Reb Yoni was a beloved member of BMG for many years, and a big Talmid Chachom.
He leaves behind a wife and one child.
The Levaya will be taking place at 12 PM in the BMG dining room, and the Kevurah will take place in Lakewood.
A live hookup is available by calling 732-806-9090 option 9.
Baruch Dayan Ha’emes.
Shiva will be taking place at 48 Central Avenue (corner of Freeman). Shachris 8 AM, Mincha 2 PM and Maariv at 9:25 PM. Visitors are asked not to come between the hours of 12:30-2 PM and after 10:30 PM.
Do we have a picture of him?
what a gem!!
Mamesh a tragedy. Yoni was such a tzaddik. He was a hashgacha expert known throughout the food industry. I occasionally went to the same daf yomi shiur that the nifter went to, R’ Shimon Prag’s evening shiur in Coventry. Yoni knew Shas, cold. Period. He used to prepare w / R’ shlome Chaim Kanarek in the morning, then do it again at night. This last siyum HaShas was his 5th. Maybe even his 6th. He claimed he didnt know. Aside for this, when his friends made weddings or when Yom Tov came along, he raised money for them. This was a special, special person. I visited him last week. Nebech. But I still thought, he’ll pull it off and walk out. Sadly, I was wrong. TNTB”H.
what a special tzaddik he was, never missed a minyan at weinsteins or a day of daf yomi. i could write a book about him…
may his neshama have an aliya
Boruch Dayan Haemes. Yoni Z”L was a person that no matter what situation he was in was always Bisimcha. He had a real simchas Hachaim and ahavas yisroel which was a direct outshine of his Torah and Midos Tovos.
May he be a Mailitz Yosher for his Mishpacha and all of us.
BDE. Words are difficult to come by. Reb Yoni was a true Ben Torah and Aliya. He was extremely well-liked and respected by his colleagues and peers.
Though his actions and interactions with others, we saw how one can be mekadesh Hashem during our lifetime
He was constantly shteiging and elevating himself. He was an ohev Es habriyos and, by his actions, he was mekarev Es habriyos l’Torah.
May the Rebono Shel Olam give koach and nechama to his chashuva father, Hagoan, Hatzadik Rav Yosef Meir Hacohen and his choshuveh mother, Rebbitzen Kantor (nee Hess) and to all Yoni’s siblings, family and friends.
May Tu B’av, hopefully turn today into the biggest Yom Tov that we are all waiting for.
Anyone know where I can get video of the levaya
returning from the levaya and still numb from this terrible tragedy i write, though words cant suffice
chigru chigru sak, chaval chaval ,lakewood and the world lost a diamond neshoma . yonee ztl was a gevaldik talmud chochom and bokee yet blamed all his bekius to quote him as he called the rishonim and achronim “the noise from the boys”
yonee ztl was one of the hidden gems of lkwd but acted as a regular geshmaka guy he will be sorely missed by his many close yedidim and chaverim
“young in years but old according to all the massim tovim he accomplished in his short 56 years ”
yehe zichro boruch may he be a malitz yosher for his almuna techuh and his 3 year old son avrom dovid n’y may the entire choshuv kantor family no no further tzar
Is there Shiva information?
