Matzav.com- It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the sudden passing of R’ Yaakov Yitzchok (JJ) Stern z”l of Lakewood. He leaves behind his wife and six children, and family and friends shocked by his sudden petirah. He was just 37 years old.
The levaya will be held at 9 a.m. at the Congregation Sons of Israel Memorial Chapel, located off of East Seventh Street in Lakewood. Kevurah will follow at the King Solomon Memorial Park Cemetery, located at 550 Dwasline Road in Clifton, NJ.
R’ Yaakov Yitzchok was found shortly before 1 a.m., having apparently collapsed next to his car near his home on North Crest Place in West Gate in Lakewood. Hatzolah was called, but their efforts at resuscitation were to no avail.
R’ Yaakov Yitzchok was a son of Rabbi and Mrs. Yosef Mordechai Stern.
He was a beloved friend to so many, a young talmid chochom who endeared himself to all who knew him.
R’ Yaakov Yitzchok distinguished himself already as a bochur when he learned at Yeshivas Shaar Hatalmud, under Rav Nechemya Kaplan, in Yerushalayim, and joined Beth Medrash Govoah in Lakewood.
He then married his dedicated wife, Chava Esty, nee Orlansky, a daughter of Rabbi and Mrs. Alter Orlansky of Brooklyn, NY.
R’ Yaakov Yitzchok was a true yorei Shomayim and ben aliyah, whose avodas Hashem was pure and heartfelt, and who, together with his wife, was raising his children b’derech Yisroel saba, with a reinkeit. He was upstanding in every way, spending his time engaged in limud haTorah and possessing sterling middos.
He leaves behind his wife and six children, and family and friends shocked by his sudden petirah. He was just 37 years old.
The levaya will be held at 9 a.m. at the Congregation Sons of Israel Memorial Chapel, located off of East Seventh Street in Lakewood. Kevurah will follow at the King Solomon Memorial Park Cemetery, located at 550 Dwasline Road in Clifton, NJ.
Hashem should give the family koach to pull through he was a choshuva yungerman, his wife Morah Chava Esty and his parents and in laws should all have a nechama and not know of any Tzaar.

My heart is broken. His wife Morah Chava Esty is such a gem of a Morah and person. Hashem should give her strength.

DeleteR'l my next door neighbor.... No words he's a real tzadik and always shining
ReplyDeleteHe was a mispallel at Zichron Elazar Shul on Irene Court. This past Shabbos he davened there. Who would have dreamed that this would be his last Shabbos with us. He was very Geshmak and truly a special person and loved by all. The Rov of the Shul, Rav Shlomo Zalman Friedman, would farbreng a lot with him, and after the rov would speak, he would always have something to add to his divrei torah. He will truly be missed. May he be a meilitz yosher for everyone.
