On 3 Shevat, the Chabad world was shocked to hear of the untimely passing of Rabbi Yonah Avtzon at 61. In addition to being the director of Sichos in English, he was a legendary Shadchan having made hundreds of Shidduchim and worked with ChabadMatch for 10 years. His insight to running the site was always coveted and we were looking forward to him attending the Meet Shadchanim Event at the Kinus.
He leaves behind his wife Rivka, and children: Levi Avtzon - South Africa, Chanie Wolf - Crown Heights, Shmuly Avtzon - Crown Heights, Mushky Edelman - Crown Heights, Sheina Oster - Crown Heights, Stery Goldberg - Crown Heights, Chenny, Zalmy, Sruly, Sholom Ber, Meir and Leah.
