BDE – Harav Zevulun Dovid Liebb, Zt”l

Hamodia is saddened to report of the petirah on Shabbos, 25 Adar I, of Harav Zevulun Dovid Liebb, zt”l, a prominent marbitz Torah and Rosh Yeshivah of Ishei Yisrael in Flatbush for many years.

Rav Liebb was a talmid of Hagaon Harav Yitzchak Hutner, zt”l, in Yeshivas Rabbeinu Chaim Berlin. For may years, he served as the baal Shacharis in the yeshiva on the Yamim Noraim.

He served as a Rebbi in several yeshivos including Yeshiva of Brooklyn, and earlier, in Vineland, N.J. and Bangor, Maine. He opened Yeshiva Ishei Yisrael in 1981, where he gave shiurim and shmuessen, the latter largely based on the derech in machshavah he absorbed from Rav Hutner.

The levayah took place Sunday morning at Lakewood Chapel in Lakewood. Kevurah was in Lakewood.

Rav Liebb is survived by, ybl”c, his children, Rabbi Avrohom Shmuel Liebb, Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchok Liebb, Rabbi Shraga Simcha Liebb, Rabbi Yeruchem Liebb, Mrs. Sara Gittel Anisfeld, Mrs. Chana Rochel Tabak, Mrs. Leah Malka Abraham and Mrs. Raizel Nissenbaum.
