Bde rav yitzchok was a demus for all what it means to be a real ben torah, everything he did was ehrlich. even if not officially a magid shiur those around him learned so much from his whole mehalech hachaim. always had a good word for people and was a fountain of knowledge of the past doros. Left over a beautiful mishpacha, may he be a malitz yosher for his family and the yeshiva that was his life
Anyone know if Kayla Wenger is a family member?

She’s his sister
Kayla wenger is a sister. Her married name is Siegel

Was rav leizer Wenger z”l of montreal a brother of the niftar?
As far as I know Rabbi Yoel Chonon Wenger is his brother in Montreal
Yes his brother
yes
Nebech, nebech. R’ Yiyzchok was a Yid ah Tzaddik, as anyone who knew him can attest. His son, R’ Yankelnis a good friend and a Tzaddik in his own right. And as any Bnos Yaakov parent can tell you, Mrs. Pinter is an exceptional talent and as dedicated a school staff member as you can ever find. She knows the ins and outs of every one of the 600+ talmidos of the school.
They are all a testament to an unbelievable individual who, together with his Rebbitzen, shtichy’ raised these amazing children.
