Matzav.com - It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the passing of Rabbi Chaim Yitzchok Leib Eichenthal zt”l.  The levayah will be held at 2 p.m. today in Lakewood Bais Olam at 7th Street

Reb Yitzchok, a son of Reb Efraim Fishel Eichenthal, was a renowned baal chesed, known in particular for his phenomenal hachnosas orchim. His home in Boro Park was a virtual reshus harabim, open to the thousands of guests who graced his table week after week for years. For half a century, R’ Yitzchok and his rebbetzin were one of Boro Park’s biggest machnisei orchim.
While R’ Yitzchok was an accountant by profession, his true occupation was that of chesed, as he devoted his days and nights to the needs of others together with his dedicated wife.
R’ Yitzchok was a brothe-in-law of Rav Chaim Yisroel Belsky zt”l, rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Torah Vodaas, where R’ Yitzchok was a longtime mispallel and bal kriah during the Yomim Noraim.

R’ Yitzchok, after residing in Boro Park for decades, relocated in recent years to Lakewood.

He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Bracha Eichenthal; his sister, Mrs. Rechel Pressman; his children, Mrs. Baila Ribiat, Mrs. Laya Ribiat, R’ Avrohom Eichenthal, R’ Yisroel Eichenthal, R’ Ahron Eichenthal, Mrs. Blimie Spanglet, Mrs. Rivky Diskind, Mrs. Nechamy Kaplan, Mrs. Sarah Alon, R’ Moshe Eichenthal, R’ Yaakov Eichenthal, R’ Binyomin Eichenthal, Mrs. Malkie Hirschman, Mrs. Miriam King and Mrs. Shulamis Greenberg; and many grandchildren.

The levayah will be held at 2 p.m. today at the Congregation Sons of Israel Holocaust Memorial Chapel, located at 613 Ramsey Street, off of East 7th Street, in Lakewood, NJ.

Yehi zichro boruch.
