Hundreds of talmidim and former talmidim of Yeshivas Netzach Yisrael were saddened upon hearing of the petira of the rosh yeshiva, HaGaon HaRav Michael Berniker ZT”L, at the age of 85.
The niftar was the head of the yeshiva, based in the Rechavia neighborhood of the capital, taking over for his father-in-law HaGaon HaRav Gustman Z”TL, which he established in Rechavia in 5731.
The niftar assumed the helm of the yeshiva since the petira of his father-in-law in 5751.
The levaya began on Sunday, 23 Nissan at 3:30PM from Ramban Street (corner Eben Ezra) in Rechavia to Har HaZeisim, where he will be buried aside his father-in-law.

The rosh yeshiva zt”l’s name was Harav Mechel Berniker son in law of Harav Yisroel Zev Gustman
The correct name is Rabbi Michel Berniker. His father-in-law was Rabbi Ze’ev Gustman.
R’ Gustman, not Gotsman
