Rabbi Nathan Korff, 91, the longtime leader of Congregation B’nai Jacob on Blue Hills Parkway, died Jan. 11.
Rabbi Korff served the Jewish communities in Milton and Boston for nearly 60 years, and for decades was the spiritual leader of the Milton synagogue.
Congregation B’nai Jacob closed in 2006 and moved most of its religious services to Newton Congregation B’nai Jacob, which is headed by one of Rabbi Korff’s sons.
The orthodox Jewish synagogue that had been on the parkway in Milton since the 1950s had fallen into disrepair. Rabbi Korff, a Milton resident, remained in town.
He is survived by his wife, Helen Korff; his children, Grand Rabbi Y.A. Korff, Dr. Jeffrey Korff and Dr. Janice Korff; 11 grandchildren; and his siblings.
He was the son of the late Grand Rabbi Jacob Korff and Rebbetzin Gittel Korff.
Services were held Jan. 12 at Zvhil-Mezbuz Beis Medrash, Newton. Burial was in Everett.
