It is with sadness that we report the petirah of Rebbetzin Rachel Lieff, mother of Harav Moshe Tuvia Lieff, Rov of Agudath Israel Bais Binyomin of Avenue L in Flatbush, and Harav Eliezer Simcha Lieff, Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshiva Gedola of South Monsey. She was niftar at the age of 104.

The levayah will take place Sunday at 12:00 p.m., at Yeshiva Gedola of South Monsey in Airmont.

Rebbetzin Rachel was born in Israel and grew up in the US. She and her husband, Harav Yaakov Dovid Lieff zt”l, lived in Cincinnati during their early years. She later became a math professor at Brooklyn College, but maintained her unwavering devotion to supporting her husband and sons in their lives of Torah learning and Rabbanus.

Her husband served as Rav of the Avenue O Jewish Center for several decades. He was born in Belarus and was niftar in 1998 at the age of 73.

Rebbetzin Rachel is survived by her two sons, Harav Moshe Tuvia Lieff and Harav Eliezer Simcha Lieff. She was predeceased by her son, Nochum Shlomo, who was niftar at a young age.

Yehi zichrah baruch.
