It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the tragic petirah of R’ Yitzchok Tzvi Klein z”l, who succumbed to critical injuries sustained earlier this week in a horrific elevator accident at Hatzlacha Grocery in Spring Valley, New York. He was just 28 years old.
Despite the heroic efforts of Rockland County Hatzolah volunteers and medical teams, as well as the heartfelt tefillos of Jews around the world, R’ Yitzchok Tzvi was niftar Friday morning from the severe wounds he sustained.
R’ Yitzchok Tzvi was the son of Rabbi Shmuel Zanvil Klein and Mrs. Reizel Miriam, daughter of the renowned Rav Eliyahu Tabak zt”l, patriarch of the prominent Tabak family.
Just two years ago, he got married. He worked faithfully in the prepared foods department at Hatzlacha Grocery, where he was known for his dedication and integrity.
Warm and personable, he carried a gentle and uplifting spirit, always greeting others with a kind word. He made it a point never to miss the Daf Yomi shiur given by Reb Eli Stefansky, which he listened to daily.
At a family simcha just last week, he told a cousin who learns full-time, “I envy you. I work and can’t learn all day, but when I prepare food at the store, I have in mind that people who are learning will eat and have strength to continue their learning.”
Yitzchok Tzvi leaves behind his parents and his wife. As he did not leave behind children, all are asked to learn l’ilui nishmas R’ Yitzchok Tzvi ben R’ Shmuel Zanvil.
The levayah is taking place now at Monsey Bais Hachaim on Brick Church Road.
Yehi zichro boruch.
