YWN regrets to inform you of the Petira of the Sanzer Rebbe, HaRav Naftali Halberstam ZATZAL. He was 96, and likely the oldest Rebbe in the world. He was Niftar on Friday night.
His Shul is in Boro Park on 48th Street and 16th Ave.
Levaya information will be published when it becomes available to us.

he was usually known as the Gribover Rebbe, or Sanz-Gribover, not simply Sanzer Rebbe.
ברוך דיין האמת
He was widely known as the Sanz-Gribover Rebbe.
He was famous for having initiated the מכון היוחסין: a sophisticated computer program where with whatever information a family had available to them could be plugged in to the data base and 70% of the time one’s family lineage could be determined.
He was a rather quiet individual although a great personality and Tzadik. יהי זכרו ברוך

I thing he went by “Sanz Gribov”.
How’s he related to the Sanzer-Klausenberger Rebbe’s?
