It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the passing of Mrs. Devorah Ackerman a”h, a woman whose life was defined by chessed, hospitality, and unwavering dedication to Torah and Klal Yisroel.
Mrs. Ackerman passed away in New York. A longtime resident of Boro Park, she later moved to Bnei Brak with her esteemed husband, the legendary Stoliner Chossid and baal chessed, R’ Yudel Ackerman zt”l. Together, they played a pivotal role in founding key mosdos of the Stoliner kehillah. In New York, they helped establish the Stoliner Yeshiva, and in Eretz Yisroel, they were instrumental in founding the Stoliner Cheder in Bnei Brak.
For many years, their home in Eretz Yisroel served as an open haven for hundreds of bochurim, seminary girls, and families. Whether for Shabbos or Yom Tov, the Ackerman household was a place of warmth, encouragement, and genuine hachnosas orchim. Mrs. Ackerman, with her trademark grace and generosity, ensured that every guest felt like family.
Following the passing of her husband, R’ Yudel, Mrs. Ackerman returned to Boro Park, where she continued to be a source of strength and inspiration to those around her.
The levaya took place in Boro Park and will continue in Eretz Yisroel, with stops in Givat Zev and Bnei Brak. Kevurah will take place in Teveria.
Yehi zichro baruch.
