It is with deep sadness that Lakewood Alerts reports the petirah of Rebbetzin Necha Weiss a”h, wife of Harav Gershon Weiss zt”l, longtime rov of Bais Medrash Ateres Binyomin in Lakewood and menahel ruchni at Yeshiva of Staten Island.

The rebbetzin had recently suffered a major medical incident and had been hospitalized at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital until her petirah.

Rebbetzin Weiss stood for decades as the ezer k’negdo to her husband, as he spent his life being marbitz Torah. Rav Weiss served for more than fifty years as a rebbi and menahel ruchni at Yeshiva of Staten Island under the leadership of Rav Reuven Feinstein, while also serving as the rov of Bais Medrash Ateres Binyomin in Lakewood.

Rav Weiss zt”l was niftar in January 2020 at the age of 87.

Rav and Rebbetzin Weiss a”h leave behind a large family of children and grandchildren continuing in their path of Torah and avodas Hashem. Among the family are R’ Dovid Weiss, R’ Chaim Yitzchok Weiss, R’ Yossi Weiss, and R’ Mordechai Weiss, along with sons-in-law R’ Binyomin Schulgasser, R’ Leiby Zeilberger, R’ Eli Levin, R’ Avigdor Buckwald, R’ Moshe Lieberson, R’ Forchheimer, R’ Yechezkel Ulman, R’ Yitzchok David, R’ Uri Meir Kanarek, R’ Shmuel Pepper, and R’ Avigdor Speiser.

Levaya and shiva details will be published when available.

Baruch Dayan Ha’emes.
