The Tzaddik of Yavniel, HaGaon Rav Eliezer Shlomo Shick ZT”L was niftar in Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital in New York City. Rav Shick was hospitalized about a week ago during a visit to NY and diagnosed with being in the last stage of leukemia.
The levaya will take place in Eretz Yisrael on Sunday, beginning from the niftar’s beis medrash in his community of Yavniel.
