Lakewood, NJ philanthropist Rabbi Aaron Stefansky passed away overnight Sunday/Monday, losing a battle against disease at just 50 years old.
Despite his illness, Stefansky opened his home to all in need, and donated millions to yeshivot in Israel and the Diaspora.
He leaves behind a widow and nine children.
Stefansky's funeral will commence from the Lakewood Yeshiva Monday night; he will be laid to rest at the Har HaMenuchot cemetery in Jerusalem on Tuesday.
