Avreich R’ Tzvi Elimelech Feingroht z”l, 37, was niftar suddenly on erev shabbos in the morning. Rav Feingroht was the father of ten. He ran the Be’er Miriam Seminary in Chatzor, taking over for his father Rav Yisrael Yitzchak z”l after his petira.
Rav Tzvi was known in the Gur community. It appears he suffered a massive heart attack on Friday morning. The news spread quickly in the Gerrer Chassidus, with family members pointing out that he was planning to attend the chasnah of a brother next week.
The family has known a bit of tragedy of late. Another brother was niftar three months ago and the father was niftar last year.

The last name is Fingerhut. The father, R’ Yisroel Yitzchak A”H, was niftar approx 4-5 years ago. He was a noted askan, and previously when he lived in Boro Park, he was melamed in yeshiva Yagdil Torah.
This is a tragedy beyond words.
Hamokom yenachem osam b’toch aveile tzion v’Yerushalayim.
You really should try to get your facts right. You R’ Yisroel Yitzchak was a spiritual pillar of the Gerrer avreichim community in Boro Park for many years and grew ever stronger in Chatzor. A daughter was niftar last year and now his son. Terrible tragedies.
