Yosef Asher Greenbaum, a prominent Hassid of the Kretschneff dynasty in Beitar Illit, passed away on Shabbat at the age of 66. Born in Bnei Brak in 1960, he was the son of Rabbi Dov Greenbaum, who served for many years as the accountant for 'Ezra V'Achva' and was close to the Kretschneff Rebbe. His father reportedly never missed a month without bringing a kvittel to the Rebbe. The family had recently celebrated a 'Shalom Zachar' ceremony for Greenbaum's grandson, the son of his son Yitzchak Chaim Greenbaum, in Kiryat Kretschneff in Rehovot. His brother is the noted author Chaim Greenbaum. The funeral procession was scheduled to depart Saturday night from the Erloi Hassidim synagogue in Beitar Illit at 11:00 PM, proceeding to Har HaMenuchot cemetery in Jerusalem for burial.
