Feivel Wagner, the longtime rabbi at Young Israel of Forest Hills, died suddenly Tuesday evening, the synagogue said.
The cause of death was possibly a stroke. He was 58.
Wagner was the full-time rabbi at Young Israel for 22 years. Before then he was a rabbi in Detroit.
It was not known yet who will replace him.
Wagner is survived by his wife Bina; his three daughters Bracha, Chana, Sara; his son Chaim; his brother Rabbi Shmuel; his sisters Malkie Weisberg and Sara Baumol; and his mother Esther.
A funeral service was scheduled Wednesday at Young Israel at 71-00 Yellowstone Blvd. at 2 p.m. Wagner's body will then be flown to Jerusalem, where he will be buried Thursday.
