His profound and brilliant Torah scholarship and mastery of הלכה;
the clarity and sophistication of his teaching -- engaging, inspiring and enlightening
all, no matter the age or background;
his widespread reputation for integrity, ingenuity and compassion, particularly in
resolving intractable issues of gittin and agunos;
his mathematical genius and calendric wizardry, bringing the mishna

his יראת שמים, selfless devotion to the community and to כבוד אב ואם,
keen wit, engaging sense of humor, brilliant intellect - even his comprehensive
sports knowledge, all wrapped in ענווה, humility and warmth;
but having them all combined in one person is beyond extraordinary.

With great appreciation to Rav Elazar M. Teitz for his dedication to the Jewish Community and Klal Yisrael. Before making aliyah we lived in Elizabeth for over 30 years. Rav Teitz was our posek, teacher, mentor, & friend (without compromising his stature). We admired the Rav as a fellow math lover and as a unifying force in our community. We appreciated the Rav's sense of humor, love of children, dedication to halacha, and interest in the Jewish calendar.
Ephraim was privileged to interact with the Rav frequently while serving as gabbai of the Elmora Shul and appreciated his guidance and support. Amy had the privilege of translating the Rav's speeches into sign language and discussing them with him, Amy also interacted with the Rav in his capacity as dean of the school where she taught his grandchildren and other students.
There is more to say, but , kike the Rav, we will keep this short and end with a gematria.

L'zecher Nishmas Harav Elazar Mayar ben Harav Mordechai Pinchas zt"l. A Life of Leadership, Vision, and Torah With deep admiration and gratitude, we join the Jewish Educational Center in celebrating the extraordinary life and legacy of the Rav.

What does one say when he loses a chavrusa of 20 years?
A person for whom I had so much awe and respect-yet he always made me feel like an equal. A giant in learning, yet incredibly humble. His presence commanded reverence and awe, yet he was so soft and sensitive. So strong in his convictions, yet endlessly patient with others. An expert in Gittin, yet an even greater expert in keeping marriages together. He was just as happy to have a mikvah in a girls' school-to help them grow up in kedusha-as he was to have a yeshiva in a shul. I was amazed by how many times he told me the story of how he convinced a parent to send their son to a yeshiva gedolah-but I was even more amazed that each time, he had tears streaming down his face. I feel such a deep void in my heart. But hopefully, that void can be filled by what the yeshiva will continue to give back to the community. I'm not so good at math-but I think the gematria of"
