With great pain and sadness we inform you of the passing of Reb Meir Itkin at the age of 96. Reb Meir was born in the village of ‘Nevel’ in Russia on Chof Tammuz 5671.
Reb Meir was a fixture in 770 with his house just a few feet away, where he was seen Davening and Farbrenging every Shabbos and then some! His daily Chavrusa with Reb Yehuda Chitrik A”H in 770 was familiar sight as well.
The Levaya will be Tommrow, Friday, and will be leaving for the Shomrai Hadas Chapels at around 11:30am and will be passing by 770 at around 12:00pm.
