The IRF joins the community in mourning the death of Rabbi Yaakov Perlow zt"l, the Novominsker Rebbe, Rosh Agudath Israel of America and a member of the Moetzes Gedolei Ha-Torah of Agudath Israel of America.

R. Perlow was stricken with the COVID-19 virus that has taken the lives of so many other wonderful members of our community and of humanity in general. Each of those precious souls was a world unto themselves and we mourn them and pray for healing and a full recovery for all those who have been affected.
