Development Begun at Achisamach
Last Thursday the infrastructure work began on the development of what will
eventually be, B"H, a community of thousands of homes at Achisamach.
HaRav Michel Yehuda Lefkowitz zt"l
Heavy mourning descended on Beis Yisroel with the histalkus Monday evening of
HaRav Michel Yehuda Lefkowitz zt"l, the rosh yeshiva of Yeshivas Ponovezh
Letzei'irim and a member of Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah. Among the generation's preeminent
roshei yeshiva and leaders of chareidi Yiddishkeit, he imparted Torah, yir'oh and
Mussar passed onto him from gedolei Torah of previous generations to thousands of
students over the course of seven decades.
On Wednesday afternoon the Torah world lost one of its most senior roshei yeshiva with
the passing of HaRav Chaim Stein, zt"l, rosh yeshivas Telshe Yeshiva in Cleveland, a
member of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah of America, the elder rosh yeshiva of America and
one of the greatest marbitzei Torah of recent times. He was a remnant of the Lithuanian
Torah world, who had studied under the gedolei hador of an earlier generation and was
one of the founders of the Torah world in America through his work in Cleveland where
he taught thousands of talmidim over a sixty year career.
Led by maranan verabbonon thousands were on hand to lay to rest HaRav Boruch Yitzchok Gutfarb zt"l, a loyal disciple of gedolei Yisroel past and present, who passed away on Erev Shabbos Parshas Korach following a difficult illness. He was close to Maran HaRav Yosef Sholom Eliashiv and a participant in his daily shiur, as well as an active proponent of various matters of kedushoh, pursuing tzedokoh and chessed while devoting his life to Torah, yeshivas and outreach work.
