The passing of Maran HaRav Yosef Sholom Eliashiv plunged the Jewish world into deep mourning which was highlighted by eulogies held in many Torah centers. Thousands of avreichim and bnei yeshiva attended the hesped in Yeshivas Chevron, where the Mashgiach, HaRav Dan Segal, addressed the assembly. In Yeshivas Rashbi, Bnei Brak, HaRav Meir Tzvi Bergman was the keynote eulogizer.
Among the many maspidim throughout the country were HaRav Nosson Zochovsky and HaRav Ben Zion Kook in Rehovot; the Mashgiach HaRav Yaffe; HaRav Feldman; HaRav Moshe Shternbuch, Raaved of the Eidah Chareidis; HaRav Lefkowitz; HaRav Weiss; HaRav Ginsburg; HaRav Rimmer; HaRav Luxenburg; HaRav Karp, HaRav Sheinberger, Rosh Kollel Chechnov; HaRav Efrati and many more.
In a convention of French rabbis taking place these days, HaRav Yosef Chaim Sitruk, HaRav Moshe Shapira and R' Mordechai Gross all bemoaned the terrible loss to Klall Yisroel.
This list goes on an on, replete with prominent roshei yeshiva who similarly lamented the blow to the Torah world.
