Yahrzeit
The Ribnitzer Rebbe, Reb Chaim Zanvil son of Moshe and Yuta Tzipora.
כ״ד תשרי
Isru Chag Sukkos · 24 Tishrei
Niftar 18 October 1995 · תשנ״ו
The 2028 date falls on Shabbos. This is not a psak; a rav can advise how the yahrzeit is observed that year.
Rabbi Chaim Zanvil Abramowitz, the Ribnitzer Rebbe, was a tzaddik in Rîbnița (today in Transnistria, Moldova) and later in Monsey, New York. A close talmid of Reb Avraham Matisyahu of Shtefanesht, he was known for mesiras nefesh under Soviet rule — including milah and shechitah — and for tefillah and fasting.
The matzeiva in Monsey records that he returned his neshamah in purity on Isru Chag Sukkos, 24 Tishrei, in the year marked תשנ״ו (1995). He is buried in the Vizhnitz cemetery in Monsey, which is a place of tefillah for many visitors.
