With broken hearts, we regret to inform you of the tragic passing of Reb Yosef Gestetner A”H, who was niftar on Monday afternoon at the young age of 38, leaving behind a devastated family and community.

Several weeks ago, Reb Yosef A”H collapsed on Shabbos morning outside Shlesinger’s shul and remained in critical condition since then. Sadly, earlier today, his pure soul was returned to its Creator.

Reb Yosef A”H was a person whose Torah, refinement, and sincerity left a deep impression on everyone who knew him. His clarity in learning and understanding were remarkable, and he carried himself with quiet greatness - without show or pretense - an ehrlicher Yid in the truest sense. His yiras Shamayim, good middos, and warm demeanor were felt by all who encountered him.

The levaya took place at Breslov Shul on Elyon Road at approximately 7:30 PM, with the kevurah following at Har Sholom Beis Hachaim in Airmont.

Yehi zichro baruch.
