YWN regrets to inform you of the petira of Rav Raphael Yitzchok Hakohen Lieberman Z”L of Flatbush. He was 62.

R’ Raphael lived in Flatbush, where he delivered a Daf Yomi Shiur for decades. He was almost never seen without his eyes inside a Gemara, and was literally a Baki B’shas.

He battled an illness for the past few years until his Petira on Motzei Shabbos.

He leaves behind a Mishpacha of Bnei Torah all following in his Derech of Hasmadah in learning and doing Chesed.

An in depth article about Reb Raphael will be published at a later date.

The Levaya will take place today Sunday, at 10:00AM at Shomrei Hadaas (39th street & 14th Ave).

Boruch Dayan Ha’Emmes…
