It is with deep regret that we inform you of the passing of R’ Osher Tauber, an ardent Viznitzer chossid from Monsey who was snatched away in the prime of his life. He was a young twenty years of age.

The niftar was the son of ybl”ch, Reb Yaakov Amrom and the grandson of Rav Ezriel Tauber, zt”l, and belonged to the Viznitz-Monsey chassidus.

“He spent his entire life within the Viznitzer system—from the youngest age, for his entire life— and was truly the cream of the crop of our chassidus,” said one Viznitzer chossid.

He was tragically stricken with the dreaded machalah soon after his wedding, and valiantly battled the disease with everything he had, undergoing treatment at a Texas medical center in recent months. Throughout his terrible ordeal, he remained strong, and his sterling character shone forth—accepting this nisyaon from above with love.

“Whenever he would come to the beis medrash for tefillos and tischen, and to learn in Kollel… it was as though he was not going through the worst ordeal imaginable,” recalls an acquaintance. “He transcended this nisayon with flying colors, despite how bleak things were.”   

The passing of R’ Osher is a terrible shock to the entire Viznitzer chassidus and to all who knew and admired him.

The levaya will take place in Monsey late today. We will update this story when the time become available.
