BDE: Reb Yitzchok Surkis, z"l

YS GOLD 

The Skverer chassidus, the Surkis family in particular, have been plunged into sadness with the arrival of the news of the passing of Reb Yitzchok Surkis, z"l, at the age of 62. He was a prominent Skverer chossid who always had a good word for everyone he encountered. 

The niftar was the son of Reb Mendel Surkis who came to Skver from a Poilishe background, and he was raised in the derech of the Skverer chassidus, which he likewise passed on to his own children and grandchildren. 

Reb Yitzchok was known as a masmid who could always be found with a Gemara, learning himself or with others. He also was known for his humor and his kind words for everyone he encountered. 

For the last ten years, he struggled with health issues, but he never gave up his Torah and avodah, and he never stopped smiling. He was sadly niftar from health complications early Thursday morning. 

The levaya will take place 2pm this afternoon at the Skverer Beis Medrash. 

Yehi zichro baruch.
