BDE: Reb Berish Miller, z"l

YS GOLD 

We regret to inform you of the passing of Reb Dov Berish Miller, z"l, a resident of Boro Park and Monsey. He was 80 years of age, and leaves behind beautiful generations, and a legacy of ehrlichkeit, refinement, and middos tovos.

The niftar was born in Samarkand following the war to parents who had survived the Holocaust. Arriving in America, the family came to Troy, near Albany, New York. Troy was a spiritually-barren place, and it took much mesirus nefesh to live as a frum Yid. His father, Reb Avrohom, would lose his job every week because he refused to work on Shabbos. 

The closest yeshiva was Yeshiva Torah Vodaath in Williamsburg, and this is where young Berish Miller traveled to learn, returning home only every six months. This too was a tremendous sacrifice, and indeed, he grew up to be a ben Torah with ehrliche Yiddishe doros. 

For many years, the Miller's owned Newbend Discount in Brooklyn, and Reb Berish was known for his extreme honesty in business. Every single night, rain or shine, hot or cold, he would trek to his daf Yomi shiur, keeping this set time for learning with great mesirus nefesh. 

In recent years, the Miller's retired to the Highview Hills community in Monsey. 

He suffered a stroke a little over a year ago, and passed away early Wednesday morning. As noted, he leaves behind beautiful generations of ehrliche bnei Torah, in America and Eretz Yisroel. 

The levaya will take place today at 12:00 p.m. at 30 Silverwood Circle in Suffern. 

Yehei Zichro Baruch.
