YWN regrets to inform you of the Petira of Rav Yaakov Zakheim ZATZAL, a prominent Rov in Flatbush for more than 40 years.
Rav Zakheim was a Talmid of Hagon Rav Elchonon Wasserman HYD in Baranovitch, and later in the Mirrer Yeshiva.
He leaves behind a Choshover Rebbitzen, his children: R’ Moshe Zakheim, Rachelle Klein, Devorah Hamada, and the noted Askan R’ Shlomo Zakheim; and dozens of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
The Levaya will take place at 10:00AM on Friday morning, at his Shul, Bais Medrash Hagadol Agudas Yisroel (East Midwood), located at 3120 Bedford Avenue, corner of Avenue J.
