BD”E: Petirah Of Massive Baal Chesed R’ Yankel Montag Z”L [LEVAYA DETAILS]

Lakewood Alerts regrets to inform you of the Petira of R’ Yaakov Montag Z”L, a longtime resident of Flatbush who recently relocated to Lakewood. He was approximately 75 years old.

Reb Yankel was a giant in Chesed and spent his life helping those in need in a quiet, unassuming way. He was involved in building dozens of Shuls and Mosdos, including Chaim Berlin, Camp Morris, Yeshiva of Brooklyn, Veretzky, Novaminsk, Torah Temimah and many, many more. He helped thousands upon thousands of Mishpachos with so many acts of kindness, that one would need to write a book to document them.

Among his many business dealings, he was most famous for being one of the owners of Aura Electric on New Utrecht Avenue in Boro Park.

He leaves behind a large family of Bnei Torah, and Baalei Chesed all following in his footsteps.

The Levaya will be held today at the Lakewood Chapel – 613 Ramsey Avenue at 11:00am.

    I remember my father introduced him to me in Rabbi Hillel David’s shul and told me “he built this shul.” Rabbi Montag immediately waved it off and said “I’m happy it’s still standing.”
