YWN regrets to inform you of the Petira of Hagon Rav Dovid Heller ZATZAL, originally from Lugano Switzerland now living in Boro Park.
He was the head of the European Yarchei Kalah, a noted Magid Shiur in Stolin Bais Medrash and Rosh Kollel in Boro Park.
He was known to be a close confidant of Gedolei Yisroel, especially the Stamar Rov ZATZAL, and the Brisker Rov ZATZAL.
Rav Heller suddenly collapsed on Monday afternoon, and was Niftar last night at Maimonides hospital.
The Levaya is scheduled for today at 2:30PM in Shomrei Hachomos Chapels in Boro Park.

boruch dayan emes – a true eved hashem I knew personally for 15 years
He was scheduled to give a Shiur in Stolin yesterday noon
I heard him quite a few times,
He was a rarity. A retired business and תלמיד חכם מופלג
I know one of his sons in law also a פארצייטישער בעל הבית
ברוך דיין אמת
when and where is the lavaya in eretz yisroel
What a loss for Klal Yisroel – but for BP Yidden especially. How many yungerleit attended his shiurim, spoke in learning with him, and consulted with him on all their issues. How many yidden that attended his oft shiurim in Stolin during the day. A real talmid chochom “muflag”, and of exceptional middos. The radiance of his face, and his constant smile will be forever remembered and missed.
Me yitten lonu temuroso.
This is a sad eulogy for such an odom godol. Reb dovid was a chavrusa with rav shteinman in rav buchko’s yeshiva in montreax. He also learned with reb moshe soloveitchik in the same yeshiva. Was a huge baal halocho. Was a big boki in all parts of the torah and an unbelievable person. He was an eidem of reb leibush rubinfeld of lugano.All his children are real bnei torah.
