Rabbi Yehoshua Horowitz of Dzikov U.S. zt"l

Baruch Dayan Haemes: In the U.S. died on Shabbos the Rebbe, Rabbi Yehoshua Horowitz of Dzikov zt"l, when he was 77 at his death.

In recent days he became ill, and many prayed for his recovery. Last Shabbos his condition deteriorated, until he returned his soul to its Creator.

The Rebbe zt"l was born to his father Rabbi Meir Horowitz hy"d and his mother Mrs. Bracha a"h. His father is the son of Rabbi Alter Yechezkel Eliyahu zt"l of Dzikov, who was the son in law of the Rebbe the Ahvas Yisrael of Vizhnitz zt"l - and it was a marvel: the date of death of the deceased is the same day of his grandfather's yahrzeit the Ahvas Yisrael which falls on 2nd Sivan. He spent his childhood after orphaned by the Rebbe the Imeri Chaim of Vizhnitz zt"l.

The deceased led the audience of followers and admirers in the Beit Midrash Ateret Yeshua – Dzikov of Borough Park. Through the years he was in close contact with Vizhnitz Rebbes, and during all visits to the United States came to visit him and respected him exceedingly.

Just a week ago he served as a sandek at his great grandsons bris-a common great grandchild to the Rebbes of Rachmastrivke and Chernobyl U.S.

According to the will, his son Rabbi Elazar Shimon Horowitz will replace him as a Rebbe.

The funeral left this morning (Sunday) at 8:45 according to U.S. time from the Dzikov Beit Midrash in Borough Park on it way to Israel. The funeral will leave from Israel at 9:00 am from the Vizhnitz Beit Midrash to the tent of Vizhnitz Rebbes where he will be laid to rest alongside the Rebbe Rabbi Pinchas of Bursha zt"l.
