We regret to inform you of the passing of Reb Pinchos Fisher, z”l, an ardent longtime resident of Williamsburg. He was 98 years of age. 

The niftar was born in Hungary, and endured the horrors of the war as a teenager. 

Eighteen years old at the conclusion of the war, he made his way to the Feldafing DP Camp. As a young and impressionable young man, he could have taken any direction in life—but he encountered the Klausenberger Rebbe, zt”l, and he remained connected with him for life. 

He married and settled in Williamsburg, where he remained an important figure of the she’eris hapleitah for all his years. He was known as an upstanding Torah Yid, and filled his life with Chessed for many decades. 

He sadly lost two of his children during the Covid pandemic, but never complained, and never questioned the ways of the Ribbono shel Olam. 

R’ Pinchos moved to Boro Park in the last few years to be near his daughter, and still danced at his grandchild’s wedding two weeks ago. 

He remained lucid until his last moments of life, and leaves behind numerous Torah-true descendants as he ascends to the Olam Ha’Emes. 

The levaya will take place at the Klausenberger Beis Medrash in Boro Park at 11:30, and later the Aleksander Beis Medrash in Boro Park, proceeding from there for Kevurah in New Square. 

Yehi zichro baruch.
