Rav Tzvi Moshe Erenster ZT”L was niftar during the early morning hours of 26 Teves 5773 in Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center.

The niftar served as rav of Kiryas Maor Chaim Yeshivos in Yerushalayim and Tzfas and he was a son-in-law of the Imrei Chaim of Vishnitz ZT”L.

Arriving in Eretz Yisrael after WWII, the niftar learned in the beis medrash of the Damesek Eliezer of Vishnitz ZT”L  ZY”A, eventually marrying a daughter of the Imrei Chaim. He established a diamond polishing factory to employ chassidim to facilitate their efforts to earn a living.

He is survived as by Rav Menachem Erenster, Rosh Yeshivas Vishnitz; Rav Ze’ev Erenster, Rav Maor Chaim Yerushalayim; Rav Eliezer Erenster, rav Kiryas Maor Chaim Tzfas and Rav Yisrael Erenster, a rav in the United States.

The levaya will begin at 14:30 from his beis medrash in Sanhedria and at 18:00 from the main Vishnitz Beis Medrash. The kvura will be in the Ohel Admorei Vishnitz in Bnei Brak.
