It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Yaacov Shoshan, on 21 Shevat 5785, February 19, 2025.  He was a loving and devoted husband to Miriam z”l for 57 years, beloved father of Morly (Morry), Stephen (Masha) and Oren (Anita), loving grandfather to Reena, Yair, Adina, Yakov, Ethan, Leah and Lilah, and loyal brother to Chaim z”l, Shlomo z”l, Yael z”l, Yosef z”l, Yitzchak z”l, Nissim z”l and Yehoshua.

Everyone who knew him saw that he was a kind, humble and loving man with a gentle soul, a thoroughly decent and honest person who sacrificed greatly to support and care for his wife and children.  He worked extremely hard without complaint so that his children would have an easier life than he did.  We are heartbroken. May his Neshama rest eternally in Gan Eden.
