A true giant amongst giants.

He lifted up a whole shul and was a tremendous maggid shiur and helped with his Tzedakah many people.
He was also a very good menahel and rebbe in his younger years.
This is a very big loss for the shul and for Boro Park on a whole.
This means 13th ave will be shut for traffic tonight?
Editor: His name was Tirnauer with a “i”
Does anybody know how old the Rov zt”l was?
He was too young to leave us. Yehi zichro boruch.

While I never knew the Rav, I benefitted from the late-night mariv minyanim on many occasions.
kol mevaser says he was 88
He was in his late 80’s.
He touched the lives of thousands in a significant way and he will be sorely missed. He belonged to a generation that unfortunately is leaving us slowly every day. yehi zichro boruch.
There are somethings that I just don’t understand.#1 Whatis the diffrence if his name is spelled with an “I” or not. #2
“13th ave will be closed to traffic?? ” is that all you can say when a rav, a baal chesed and marbitz torah is nifter!!!! it’s mindblowing.#3 Is it that important what age he was? it is a loss beyond repair!! and we should all learn from him ,so it will be zechus for all of kellal yisroel
