We regret to inform you of the passing of Reb Yitzchok Aizik Tzvi Hakohen Katz, a longtime Boro Park resident who left this world at the age of 99. 

He was the son of Reb Chaim Yisroel Katz, and he was born in prewar Hungary where he absorbed the tenets of Torah and yiras Shomayim that permeated its atmosphere. 

He endured the horrors of the Holocaust which claimed so many of his family and loved ones—but he emerged strong in his Emunah in Hashem and determined to rebuild. 

And rebuild he did.

He settled in Boro Park and proceeded to establish an incredible Torah family which follows the ways of his ancestors. 

He was one of the most distinguished Viznitzer chassidim and davened regularly at the Beis Medrash on 53rd Street. 

He was a fountain of inspiration to all those who knew him, and he will be missed by so many who admired him. 

The levaya went out on Sunday morning from the Viznitzer Shul where he was escorted to his final resting place. 

Yehi zichro baruch.
