YWN regrets to inform you of the Petira of Hagaon HaRav Zalman Nechemiya Goldberg ZT”L (88), son-in-law of HaRav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, and a major Posek in Eretz Yisroel.
Rav Goldberg was the editor in chief of the Encyclopedia HaTalmudis and was the Rosh Kollel of Sadigurah – Yeshiva Daas Moshe.
He was also a Dayan on the “Bais Din Hagadol”.
Rav Goldberg was Niftar on Thursday at Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center in Jerusalem after suffering a stroke with brain hemorrhaging last week.

An incredible gain. A beautiful person. ענוותן שייף עייל שייף נפיק גריס באורייתא תדירא ולא מחיק טיבותא לנפשיה
חבל על דאבדין ולא משתכחין
An incredible gaon!
An incredible loss.
Unfortunately the label Gaon is thrown around so loosely these days that one might think Rav Zalman Nechemia was Just another one of those so called Geonim. He was anything but. He was a yid who knew Kol Hatorah Kula as has been said about him over the years by the greatest of our people. A real loss to Klal Yisroel.
What was written earlier was a mistake that was made by spellcheck. I wrote an incredible gaon. But the spellcheck on my device changed it to “gain” and I didnt realize till after i posted. It is in fact an incredible loss for klal yisroel. He was among the foremost poskim of the generation and had tremendously large shoulders to rely on for psakim in the most complex areas of halacha. He was an adam gadol meod without any fanfare and always bsever panim yafos to everyone.
