  1. Ouch. This one hurts. I grew up with R’ Yaakov Leib as he davened in the same shul as my father in Nitra Shul in BP. My father was with him in Yeshiva and were close friends all the yrs. The niftar was a Kodesh V’tahor, always with a smile and never, EVER saying a bad word about anyone or ever raising his voice at any time. He was also a superb Ba’al Tokeah.

    He also, btw, has another daughter, Mrs Ullman who, last I heard, lives in BP.

    Yehi Zichro Boruch.
