Heartfelt Farewell to Beloved Chassidic Musician R’ Avi Piamenta, OBM
In a heart-wrenching Levaya outside 770 residents of Crown Heights and local yeshiva students escorted the beloved Chassidic musician R’ Avi Piamenta A”H with deep emotion and respect. He passed away shortly before Shabbos in New York, after traveling to The Rebbe for Chag Hageulah Gimmel Tammuz. He was 69 years old • Full Story, Photos
The levaya passed by the front of 770 on Sunday, before he was flown to Eretz Yisroel for burial.
Today, Monday, 11 Tammuz, the funeral continued in Kfar Chabad, beginning at 1:00 PM from his home on Luchot HaYom Yom Street 2.
The procession passed through the plaza of the central Shul “Beis Menachem” in Kfar Chabad, and then continued to the courtyard of the Aguch building—770—and the Even Hapina (cornerstone site) of the Armon – Palace for the King Moshiach.
From there, the levaya made its way to the Chabad section of Har HaZeisim in Yerushalayim, where he was laid to rest.
May it be Hashem’s will that we immediately merit the fulfillment of the promise, “And those who lie in the dust will arise and sing,” and R’ Avi among them.
Ad Mossai?!
