YWN regrets to inform you of the Petira of Rav Yaakov Stefansky ZATZAL, the 10th grade Rebbe in Philadelphia Yeshiva for the past 41 years.
Rav Stefansky suffered a serious stroke in November 0f 2007 (reported HERE on YWN), and unfortunately never recovered.
The Levaya is scheduled for Friday morning at 10:45AM in the Philadelphia Yeshiva, followed by the Kevura in the Lakewood Cemetery. (Time of Kevura will be updated as soon as there is an accurate time.)
May he be a Maylitz Yosher for his Chosuver Mishpacha, and thousands of Talmidim.
Boruch Dayan Emmes…
