This is a request for more information.
1. At what time today is the Levaya scheduled to take place.
2. I advised orally that the Levaya would take place at the Mirrer yeshiva rather than Rav Avigdor Miller’s shul in Flatbush.
Could you please advise re: both items?
Thank you.

2:00 at Rabbi Miller’s shul. Just spoke to a family member – it is NOT in the Mir!
He was a wonderful rebbe who really instilled yiras shomayim in his fourth grade talmidim.
Back in the 1960’s at Yeshiva of Eastern Parkway, he insisted that each boy come to school wearing a tie.
what a wonderful Rebbi. I was in his 4th grade class in the early 1960’s.
May he be a Meylitz Yosher to his family, his talmedim, and all Klal Yisroel.
An ehrlicher yid, a gifted rebbe.
May he be a maylitz yosher to all of Klal Yisroel.
Also, he was a brother in law of HaGoan HaRav Chaim Zimmerman Z”L
