Rabbi Yitzchok Ruderman, a resident of Boro Park for decades before moving to Kfar Chabad, passed away on Monday, 18 Elul, 5780.
He was 85 years old.
Rabbi Ruderman lived for many years in Petach Tikvah, Eretz Yisroel, and was a notable member of the Chabad community there. He then moved to Boro Park, New York where he lived for decades.
Approximately half a year he moved back to Kfar Chabad, where he lived until his passing.
He is survived by his wife Battia and his children Shneur Zalman, Tzvi Hersh, Miriam Brod, Pnina Yankowitz, Rochel Shklar, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
The levaya will take place on Tuesday in Kfar Chabad, and the kevurah will be on Har Hazeisim in Yerushalayim.
He was a chosid and a lamdan and always full of life. May his family know only Simchas.
R’ Yitzchok was a learned, kind soul who was generous in so many ways, but especially with his conversations in Yiddish, for which he never lowered the bar. He wanted you to aspire to his level. I loved him. May his neshama have an immense aliyah, and may his family be comforted.
