How old was the Rosh Yeshiva?
BDE
this is horrific & tragic. our Gedolim are leaving us on a weekly basis & its just getting worse R”L. do you remember just a few years ago-before this mageifa of Gedolim started-when we only heard once or twice a year c”v that a tzaddik was niftar?
look at these last 11 gedolim that were recently niftar, & look at the dates & young ages they were niftar in a matter of only 8 weeks?

is it even POSSIBLE for someone to say this is coincidence?
will WE EVER start doing teshuva?
I’m sorry to be the one to say this & it bring tears to my eyes, but righteous tzaddikim don’t belong staying in a world of people who won’t do teshuva, they belong with Hashem & his shechina in olam Haba.
If we want to Hashem to give us these Tzaddikim to guide us through the generation then we need to listen to them %100 & we need to do teshuva to be deserving of their guidance & Torah.
May we all start doing Teshuva ASAP before any other Tzaddikim are niftar C”V
