We regret to inform you of the passing of Reb Yisroel Dov Birnhack, z”l, a longtime Boro Park resident who is remembered for his ehrlichkeit, yiras Shamayim, and exemplary middos. He was in his 70’s.

The niftar leaves behind a beautiful Torah family and a sterling legacy.

Originally from a family of Stutchiner chassidim, Reb Yisroel was born in Berlin and spent his childhood years in England after his family fled the upheaval in Europe. After immigrating to the United States, he learned at Torah Vodaas and later at Beis Medrash Elyon, where he received semichah.

A quiet and unassuming individual, Reb Yisroel was known for his exceptional honesty and integrity. By profession, he worked as an accountant, but those who knew him remember him far more for the values he embodied — his dikduk hamitzvos, unwavering emunah, and refined middos.

He was privileged to establish a beautiful Torah home together with his wife, Mrs. Francoise Birnhack, and their family, raising a distinguished family of children and leaving behind generations who continue his legacy.

The levaya took place in Lakewood, where several of the Birnhack children reside, and Kevurah took place in Eretz Yisroel.

Yehi zichro baruch.
