Matzav- Levaya will be (approx) 11am at Alumni Bais medrash 9th and Madison, kevurah in Lakewood.
It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the passing of Rav Gavriel Finkel zt”l of Lakewood, NJ. Rav Finkel passed away Friday night, Erev Shavuos.
A son of Rabbi and Mrs. Yehoshua Matisyahu Finkel, Rav Finkel was one of the preeminent poskim in Lakewood, NJ, where he was renowned for his yedios haTorah and, in particular, his expertise in halacha. Yidden the world over consulted with Rav Finkel on shailos in Choshen Mishpat and other areas.
Rav Finkel’s humility and modesty matched his ahavas haTorah and breadth of knowledge, and he devoted time and effort for decades to helping those who came to him for assistance and others in trying circumstances.
Rav Finkel’s sudden passing at the start of the three-day Yom Tov has left his many talmidim and admirers, who have just learned of his petirah tonight, in shock.
Rav Finkel is survived by his devoted wife, Rebbetzin Miriam Finkel, and their family, as well as his siblings, Rabbi Yitzchok Finkel, Rebbetzin Leah Pirutinsky, Rebbetzin Rivka Tikotzky and Rebbetzin S. Rockove.
Levayah details will be posted shortly.
