HaRav Zeida Shmuel Rosenbaum, the Bichkov (ביטשקוב) Rebbe ZT”L was niftar in Yaffo on Sunday morning, 21 Adar II at about 10:15.
The morning the rebbe was not feeling well and he collapsed. The rebbe was admitted to the hospital on numerous occasions in recent years due to difficulty breathing, which he suffered from chronically.
The rebbe’s beis medrash was a central locale for all city residents seeking spiritual nourishment, attracting mispallalim from all walks of life. Despite the rebbe’s weakened condition he continued to maintain his daily routine and on motzei Shabbos many city residents took part in melave malka.
The niftar’s brothers are the Kretchnif (קרעטשניף) Rebbes of Rehovot and Kiryat Gat as well as the Permislan (פרמישלאן) Rebbe in Bnei Brak.
The rebbe was the third son of the Admor Rav David Moshe of Kretchnif ZT”L, connected to the Nadvorna Dynasty.

Tragic to keep watching us lose our gedolim on a weekly basis, with no stop ahead C”V UNLESS we start doing teshuva
If we want Hashem to give us these Tzaddikim to guide us through the generation then we need to listen to them %100 percent & we need to do teshuva to be deserving of their guidance & Torah.
May we all start doing Teshuva ASAP before any other Tzaddikim are niftar C”V
how old was he? anyone know?
May his neshama have an aliya
63 give or take a year.
that’s a pretty young age-when compared to the usual 90-120 age of being niftar. Do you think this is coincidence? is there even such a thing as coincidence?
every tragedy has a wake-up message from Hashem & right now with the non-stop tragedies Hashem is waiting with Roche Imeinu for our teshuva to start
May his neshama have an aliya
