Rav Shimon Alster zt"l was a towering figure in Torah learning, serving as Rosh Yeshiva of Cliffwood and Rav at Bais Medrash Torah U’tefillah in Flatbush. Orphaned in Antwerp, he rose to prominence under the guidance of luminaries like Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach zt"l. His path led from the holy land to the U.S., where he educated countless students. Renowned for his love for his fellow Jews and his reverence for Hashem, his Torah teachings were a guiding light. His departure from this world was felt deeply by all those who knew him in the community.
