This Sunday, is the יאָרצײַט of the “Tzadik of Freehold ר’ אברהם יצחק ב”ר בצלאל.
Many have gone to his Kaver and Davened and have seen tremendous ישועות.
There will be a minyan saying Tehillim this Sunday, ז שבט February 2, at 1:00 PM.
Directions to Kever: Freehold Hebrew Cemetery in Freehold, New Jersey is located along NJ-33 Business (which is a split-off of Rt-33) right before Cardigan Bay Lane behind the Freehold Raceway Mall. The cemetery is made up of a number of sections, among them: Freehold Hebrew Benefit Cemetery, Hebrew Benefit Society Cemetery, Freehold Jewish Cemetery, and Congregation Agudath Achim Cemetery: Location: Towards the middle of the cemetery.
Can someone tell me a bit more details about this tzaddik?
His info and story is written by the entrance of the cemetery.
He was killed crossing over the train tracks by an oncoming train . He had a a couple of seforim in tallis bag, amongst them a tanya wich he was carrying at the time. The burial societies of freehold fought between each other ”
עלי ינוח צדיק “so they buried him in between .זכותו יגן עלינו
Anyone have copies of the newspaper articles written about him?
He was hidden until a journalist discovered him and interviewed him for several hours. He was so impressed he created a four day series of articles about this great man. Exactly one day before the first article was to be published the Tzadik left this world. We are working on translating the original articles from Yiddish to English. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 732 278 99 61
Can you please post the articles, even if you only have the original Yiddish?
Thank you!
How can I find out more about the basic story? If anyone reading this has a personal story with a yeshua , can you please share?
There was an article about him in one of the heimisha weeklies about 10 years ago. Certainly made him sound like a huge Tzadik. No doubt he can be Poel Yeshuas if you go daven at his kever. Thanks for posting this opportunity

Anyone here wanna get a second minyan at 1:30 I’m running a bit late.
I have two with me.

It’s pretty straight forward to find, here are some tips: You can follow Waze to “freehold Hebrew benefit society cemetery “. Go in to the last entrance to the cemetery (3rd) and park at the end of the rd. A short walk about half way back, and half way up and you will find the kever (look for the enclosed metal stand to light a ner – as in the picture above.)
I will be there 1:30 BE”H
In articles that were published years ago there was an interview with his daughter , then living.
The sefer he had with him was a Gemara Sanhedrin.
