A large tzibur was on hand on Tuesday 26 Sivan 5773 for the levaya of HaGaon HaRav Meir Tzvi Fischer ZT”L, 89, mora d’asra of Kehillas Dvir Kodsho in Har Nof, Yerushalayim. The niftar was also the author of the seforim אור הבהיר on מסכתות כתובות ופסחים.

The rav was admitted to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital after falling in his home two weeks earlier.

The levaya began at the shul, headed by HaGaon HaRav Shmuel Auerbach Shlita and other Gedolei Torah. Among those giving a hesped were Eida Chareidis Gavaad HaGaon HaRav Yitzchok Tuvia Weiss Shlita, a brother of the niftar HaGaon HaRav Shlomo Fischer Shlita, and of course Rav Auerbach Shlita. The kvura was in the Har Menuchos Beis Hachaim.

The niftar is survived by his rebitzen, brother HaGaon HaRav Moshe Shlita (Mora D’asra of the Knesses neighborhood), brother HaGaon HaRav Shlomo Shlita (Rosh Yeshivas Itri) and many other relatives.
