It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the petirah of Rav Moshe Nusbacher zt”l, a revered talmid chacham who devoted his life to spreading Torah and yiras Shamayim within the batei midrash while remaining remarkably unassuming. Known as a profound talmid chochom and a master of Toras hanistar, he passed away at the age of 78.

Rav Nusbacher was born on the 25th of Elul 5707 to his father, Rav Avraham Yosef Nusbacher.

In his youth, he studied at Yeshivas Or Yisrael L’tzeirim in Petach Tikvah, where he absorbed Torah from the rosh yeshiva, Rav Yosef Rozovsky.

He later continued his learning at Yeshivas Ponovezh, cleaving closely to the roshei yeshiva, Rav Shmuel Rozovsky and Rav Mordechai Shlomo Berman.

Upon reaching marriageable age, he married his wife, Rebbetzin Yonah, a daughter of the Chabad mashpia, Rav Nachum Goldschmidt.

Rebbetzin Yonah leads spiritual support and guidance for women and girls rescued from Arab villages by Yad L’Achim.

Together, Rav Moshe and his wife established a home firmly founded upon Torah and yirah. For many years, Rav Nusbacher delivered shiurim with penetrating depth and exceptional clarity.

Over the course of his life, he served as rosh kollel in Ramat Hasharon, a ram at Yeshivas Or Yosef in Chadeira, was among the founders of Yeshivas Shaarei Dovid Premishlan, and served as one of the roshei yeshiva at Yeshivas Shaar HaTalmud in Kiryat Herzog. He also headed Kollel Adabra Be’eidosecha.

He was deeply connected, heart and soul, to Rav Dovid Chai Abuchatzeira of Nahariya, who described him as one of the hidden tzaddikim of the generation whose true greatness was known to few, a towering talmid chochom in the hidden dimensions of Torah.

He merited to leave behind an outstanding mishpacha. Among his sons are Rav Yechezkel Nusbacher, author of the sefarim Adabra Be’eidosecha; Rav Nachum Nusbacher, rosh yeshiva of Shaar HaTalmud; and Rav Shalom Nusbacher.

The levayah took place at his home at 17 Rechov Harav Herzog in Bnei Brak and proceeded to Segulah Cemetery in Petach Tikvah for kevurah.

Yehi zichro boruch.
