YWN regrets to inform you of the sudden Petira of Hagon HaRav Don Ungarisher ZATZAL, the Rosh Yeshiva of Bais Medrash Elyon in Monsey.
Rav Ungarisher suffered a massive heart attack overnight, and was rushed by Hatzolah Paramedics to Good Samaritan Hospital. He was Niftar a few minutes before 8:00AM, Monday morning.
Rav Ungarisher is the son-in-law of Hagon Rav Reuven Grozovsky ZATZAL, who was the founder of Yeshiva Bais Medrash Elyon.
The Levaya will be at 12:30PM in Bais Medrash Elyon, 73 Main Street in Monsey. The Aron will then be brought to JFK Airport enroute to Eretz Yisroel. Misaskim has arranged for the Levaya to be held in JFK Airport at 4:30PM in the “Cell Lot”. Upon entering the JFK Expressway, follow the big blue signs to the Cell Lot. It is one of the first exits exits BEFORE the terminals.

A big Gaon and Talmid Chochom, and chochom in general.
what a “klop”.
My big Rebbe whom I learned from for 4 years, whom I wish I kept closer contact with.
He was a master in taking all the chiddushim and puting them back into the simple words of the Gemara Rash”i and Tosfos.. in a very very sweet way. Aמ Ohev Shalom who didn’t even need to be “Maavir al Midosav”, since he was sweet and forgiving through and through…
אוי! מי יתן תמורתו
So sad.
We were all just dancing around him a week ago on Simchas Torah.
We were all singing כי אורך ימים, ושנות חיים ושלום, יוסיפו לך. Who can get that picture out of their minds!! Reb Don with his eyes closed holding the small Sefer Torah. Watching his hergeshim shine through when they were singing אשרי מי שעמלו בתורה. The seen keeps playing over and over in my mind!!
I remember rushing my children over to Reb Don during hakafos. I told them to get a good look at him. This briah is almost extinct! A true Gadol. A true Odom!!
He gave me and my family such warm heartfelt brachos. Who would have imagined that just a week later….
