Central Rallies of Hespedim and Chizuk Throughout the Jewish World in Memory of HaRav Yosef Shalom Eliashiv

By Yechiel Sever

With the end of the shloshim period since the demise of HaRav Eliashiv, who was the supporting pillar for all Jewry, rallies of hesped and his'orerus will take place throughout the Jewish world to commemorate the figure upon whose shoulders the entire burden of the Diaspora rested.

A central assembly will take place on Thursday 28 Av in his beis medrash, Tiferes Bachurim, on Rechov Admon in Meah Shearim, where Rabbenu delivered a daily shiur for many decades to audiences of hundreds, including distinguished scholars. A Yom Kippur Kotton service will begin at 6:00, followed by the eulogy which is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. A roster of gedolei Torah and roshei yeshiva will address the public.

Similar gatherings will take place in many other locations such as yeshiva study halls and central botei medrash, to rouse the public over the loss of Maran, which is compared to the burning of the Beis Hamikdash, so as to strengthen them in his ways and teachings.
