Matzav.com- it is with great sadness that we report the passing of Rabbi Yonah Kantor zt”l of Lakewood, NJ. He was 54.
Reb Yony, as he was known, was a beloved member of the Lakewood community, recognized for his ahavas haTorah, ahavas habriyos, and avodas Hashem. Reb Yony was a dear friend of so many people, truly meurav im habriyos, while serving as an example in Torah, avodah, gemillus chassodim, bitachon and emunah.
Reb Yony grew up in Monsey, where his esteemed father, Rav Yisroel Meir Kantor, serves as the rov of the Agudas Yisroel of Monsey shul on Remsen Avenue.
Reb Yony battled illness during the last period and succumbed, plunging his family and numerous friends into mourning.
The levayah will take place at noon at the Israel Henry Beren Hall Dining Room of Beth Medrash Govoha at 617 Sixth Street in Lakewood, NJ.
Reb Yony is survived by his wife, Mrs. Sara Kantor, and one child; his parents, Rav Yisroel Meir and Rebbetzin Chana Kantor; his siblings and extended family; and his many grieving friends and acquaintances.
Yehi zichro boruch.
