With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Rabbi Yaakov Ganzburg OBM from Milan, Italy.

Rabbi Gansburg was the son in law of Rabbi Yisroel Noah Blinitsky. Rabbi Gansburg and his wife lived in Milan where he was a “shochet,” with the consent of the Frierdike Rebbe. In recent years he was very weak and resided by one of his daughters in Miami.

He is survived by his children: R Menachem Mendel Hilel (Milan, Italy) Mrs Sarah Blank (Miami, FL), Mrs Dina Perla Tsfasman (Crown Heights), R Yosef Yitzchok (Nachlas Har Chabad, Israel), Mrs Chana Liba Raichik (Los Angeles, CA), Mrs Rachel Raviski (Toronto, Canada), R Avrohom Shlomo (Kfar Chabad, Israel), and R Noah (Brazil).

The Levaya will be Sunday evening, 10:00pm at Shomrei Hadas and passing 770 at 10:30pm, then to Israel for burial.
