Who is left from his family ?
A REAL CHOSSID. Said little and did a lot. I had to honor of knowing him in Boro Park.
I had the honor to Daven with him many years in the Zamech Zedek Shul in Boro Park where Rabbi Rosenfeld zol zein gezunt is the Rov. Reb Pinchos Blatt was a very humble man
a true Chossid, had many interesting stories that he told over.
may he be a gute betterfor his family
Had the honor to meet Reb Pinchos. What an eidel, sincere and ehrlicher Yid! Filled with joy of life and integrity of a level that is rare. May his very lovely, gracious wife and their family be comforted by the Aibishter as only He can and may they know only simcha and happiness. Very special people. The world needs more like them. C.

Reb Pinchos Blatt זכרונו לברכה was known in the entire Diamond Industry for his great honesty. My father זכרונו לברכה would say that if you wanted an example of an honest person it was Reb Pinchos Blatt.
ר’ פנחס בלאט איז געווען אן ערליכער איד. ער זאל זיין א גוטער בעטער פאר זיין פרוי און די משפחה
תהא נשמתו צרורה בצרור החיים ויהי זכרו ברוך
He was very close, and was inspired by Reb Moshe Rubin – a Mashpia From Montreal and a fellow talmid in Tomchei Tmimim in Shanghai throughout WWII
Rev Moshe Feder in Montreal is one of the last. I am not sure if Rabbi Moshe Chaim Sapochinsky learned there or not.
Survived by his wife and her children and grandchildren
he lived in boro park..was close with the otwock/shanghai group like nochim preger, motel briyki and shiya Bronstein..all obm…
I wonder if anyone knows he was sent on shlichus once – never knew that.
he was a real gentleman.
There certainly is. Rabbi Mordechai Altein , ad maya veesrim,
Lives with his wife, sheyichyu, here in Crown Heights. Don’t know of any others.
