Chatzi, a beloved baal menagen and musician, brought joy and spirit to countless simchos over the years. Tragically, Chatzi collapsed on the second day of Rosh Hashanah in Monticello, NY, where he was for rosh hashana with Rabbi Albert's yeshiva. Despite efforts to resuscitate him, he was niftar shortly afterward. Chatzi was the son of Rav Elya Nota Katz, the rov of Khal Lev Avrohom in Lakewood, NJ, formerly of Monsey.

He is survived by his father, his three sisters, extended family, and countless friends and acquaintances.

The levaya took place on Sunday, October 6th at Yeshiva Ateres Yisroel. View here. Kevurah was at the Lakewood Bais Olam, 782 East 7th St. Kever can be accessed from outside the Bais Olam on Brook Road.

The sefer is being written by his family together with many friends and acquaintances. Funds raised will be used for a Sefer Torah and subsequently towards other meaningful initiatives and projects, under the jurisdiction of the family, L'iluy Nishmaso.
