Thousands Attend Levayah of Harav Williger in Boro Park
Thousands attended the levayah of venerated Chassid Harav Yosef Binyamin Williger, zt”l, on Friday in Boro Park, including many Rebbes, Rabbanim and Roshei Yeshivah.
The levayah began in front of the Mukatch beis medrash and continued via the Sanz-Klausenberg beis medrash. Harav Williger was very close with both Chassidic courts.
On Motzoei Shabbos, his aron will be flown to Eretz Yisrael, where kevurah will be Sunday on Har Hamenuchos.
Maspidim at the levayah included his sons; the Dinover Rebbe, shlita; the Munkatcher Rebbe, shlita; the Satmar Rebbe, Harav Zalman Leib Teitelbaum, shlita; and the Glagover Rebbe, shlita.
The family will be sitting shivah at 1830 55th Street in Boro Park.
A full tribute will be forthcoming, b’ezras Hashem.
Yehi zichro baruch.
