R’ Aron Levitansky, a member of the Lubavitch community in New Haven for over 30 years, has passed away Monday, 10 Adar I, 5771.
He was 58 and suffered from a lengthy illness.
Born in Chicago, he was sent to Canada to learn at Yeshiva Tomchei Tmimim Lubavitch of Montreal where he was close to Rabbi Berel Mochkin, whom he considered his Mashpia.
Along with his wife Harriet, he moved to Connecticut, and together they built a family there.
Levitansky worked as a manager for Deitsch Plastic, a manufacturer of fine man-made leather and non-woven substrates.
He is survived by his wife and their children Chana Rivky Feldman of Crown Heights; Miriam Gilbert of Teaneck, NJ; Yochi Levitansky, Eli Levitansky, Nachum Levitansky, Sheina Wilhelm of Crown Heights, Huvi Levitansky and Aviva Levitansky.
