Boruch Dayan Hoemes – Rabbi Levi Deitsch OBM

With great sadness and deep pain we inform you of the tragic and very untimely passing of Rabbi Levi Deitsch OBM, a Shliach to Tysons Corner, Virginia. He was 34 years old.

Levi moved out on Shlichus with his family in 2002 where he established a flourishing Chabad center, along with a Hebrew School and a Tzivos Hashem.

Levi is survived by, Yibadlu Lechaim Tovim, his wife Miriam, and his children. As well as his mother Cyrel, and siblings, Toby Bernstein (Richmond Hill, Canada), Shaya Deitsch (Montgomery County, PA), Mendy Deitsch (Chandler, AZ), Nechemia Deitsch (Toronto, Ontario), Altie Wolvovsky (Sonoma, CA), Rivky Schechter (Crown Heights), Hindy Mintz (CO) Chezzy Deitsch (Tysons Corner, VA), Srully, Rochel Eisenberg (Crown Heights).

Recently the Deitch family suffered the tragic loss of their father, Rabbi Zalman Yuda, and brother Hatomim Nosson Notah.

The Levaya will take place today, Sunday, and will be passing by 770 at around 11:00am

    I was honored with seeing Levi in action doing the rebbe’s work, I can tell you that he was one of the good guys, one of the best. I’ll never forget how he embodied being a chossid of the rebbe and what is demanded of every one of us.

    Rabbi Levi was truly an amazing man. He brought so much joy to our community in Tysons. He will be dearly missed. May Hashem give his family all the strength to get through this.

  • Michele Rubinstein

    As the Dearly friend of my Rabbi, although I never knew Rabbi Levi Itsak,I read tehillim for his recovery every day and I am deeply saddened and wish Hashem to comfort his family and community.

  • A congregant brought to Torah Judaism

    When my family became Shomer Shabbat in 2005 we could no longer attend shul at Chabad Tysons because it was 11 miles away. We discussed this dilemma with Rabbi Levi. He and his wife Miriam generously offered us to stay with them as guests once a month.

    Those Shabbosim at the Deitsch home were filled with warmth and love of Hashem. The table was always lively with guests, the meals were delicious creations of Miriam. Niggum and songs were led by our Beloved Rabbi whose voice rivaled any opera star.

    May his memory be a blessing. May we merit the coming of Moshiah speedily in our day!
