BDE: Reb Yaakov Klein, z”l

By Yitzy Fried 

We are saddened to inform you of the passing of Reb Yaakov Klein, an ardent Viznitzer chossid from Monsey. He was 71. 

The niftar was the son of Reb Mordechai Klein, a Holocaust survivor, and he was born in postwar Hungary. 

As a child, he came to the United States, and in his youth, he became close to the Toras Mordechai of Viznitz. He remained tethered to the Rebbe with heart and soul. 

He lived in Monsey, where he raised a beautiful chassidishe family. He worked for many years at Rockland Kosher, which his brother owns. He was liked and admired by all who knew him. 

The Levaya will take place this evening at 8:00 in front of the Viznitzer Beis Medrash in Monsey.
