rabbi yaakov yitzchok spiegel z’l was a big talmud chochem. he lived in lakewood , the courtyard assisted living on madison avenue. he was about 87 years of age.
I knew him when I was young, in forest hills. I was wondering where he moved to. Baruch Dayan Haemes.
does anyone know where the shiva is?
the sons are sitting at the residence of the niftar at the courtyard in lakewood,nj.i heard that they may go to their respective homes over shobbas parshas mishpotim and sit at their respective homes in far rockaway and monsey for motzei shobbas.this would give their respective communities a easier chance to be menachem aveilim in their communities. i would check with their homes first before going there.
His two sons are sitting shiva in the Lakewood Courtyard where Rabbi Spiegel lived for the last three years. One of them will also be sitting at his home in Monsey on Motzai Shabbos only. His two sisters are sitting at their homes in Queens and Baltimore.
