YWN regrets to inform you of the petirah of Rabbi Morris Esformes, a renowned Chicago philanthropist who passed away from a heart attack.

The frum community in Chicago is particular indebted to him, with the niftar having been one of the pillars of the community, a friend to all, and a benefactor to practically every school, mosad, and tzedakah project in the city. He is survived by his wife, children and grandchildren. Baruch Dayan Ha’Emes. (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)
