A large crowd accompanied Rabbi Avraham Moshe Deutsch to his final resting place in Bnei Brak last week. Rabbi Deutsch was a prominent Sanzer chassid, yerei shamayim and beloved by all those who knew him. He had been suffering immensely during the past few years and passed away last week at the age of seventy.

The deceased was born in Petach Tikvah on Tuesday, the 3rd of Shevat, 5700, to his father Rabbi Eliyahu Deutsch z"l. Rabbi Eliyahu was a staunch Sanzer Chassid from the city of Klausenburg and immigrated to Israel in 5695 and settled in Petach Tikvah, where he raised his family.

Rabbi Avraham Moshe learned in the Sanzer Yeshiva and was extremely close with the Sanzer Rebbe zy"a. 

In 5723, he married the daughter of Rabbi Avraham Yehudah Binder of Kiryat Atah, and together they raised a beautiful, chassidishe family. Rabbi Avraham Moshe served as a maggid shiur in the Sanzer Beis Medrash in Bnei Brak for over thirty years, in accordance with the will of the Shefa Chaim zy"a. He would daven before the amud on the Yamim Nora'im and weep profoundly, arousing all congregants to teshuvah.

During the past few years, he had been suffering from a terrible illness and his dedicated eishes chayil nursed him through the difficult times until his passing.  A month ago, Rabbi Avraham Moshe was hospitalized as his condition deteriorated and last Shabbos he returned his soul to his Maker.

His levayah took place on Sunday and set out from his house to the Shamgar cemetery in Har Hamenuchos, passing by the Sanzer Beis Medrash.

May his memory be blessed.
