YWN regrets to inform you of the Petirah of Reb Berish Scharfer Z”L, long term resident of Monsey, and Mispallel of Bais Medrosh Elyon.

Reb Berish grew up in the Monsey community and was a talmid of Reb Levi Krupenia ZT”L in the Kaminitzer Yeshiva in Woodridge, New York. After his chasunah to his choshuva wife Etti (nee Wiesner) he spent several years in the Kollel in Woodridge, and subsequently in the Kollel at Bais Medrosh Elyon, where he forged a very close relationship with the Rosh Hayeshiva Rav Don Ungarischer ZT”L. He was well recognized for his ehrlichkeit and honesty in every aspect of his life and was well respected for it in the diamond industry. He is survived by his wife Etti, and his many children and grandchildren who are all ehrliche Benei Torah.

The Levaya will take place Sunday at Bais Medrosh Elyon in Monsey at 1:00 P.M. Shiva will take place at his home in Monsey, New York.

Yehi zichro boruch.
