Wednesday morning, 6 Menachem Av 5772 marked the end of the shiva for Maran HaGaon HaRav Yosef Sholom Elyashiv ZT”L. As such, the aveilim went to the kever in Har Menuchos.

Maran HaGaon HaRav Chaim Kanievsky Shlita, the niftar’s son-in-law arrived in the early morning to be menachem aveil to his brothers-in-law. Following the visit they went to the kever in section 11 in the beis hachaim.

Workers were on the site upon their arrival preparing the concrete frame for the matzeiva. Simultaneously, the stairs that were constructed at 10 Chanan Street in Meah Shearim to accommodate a number of the visitors during shiva were dismantled. This refers to stairs set in place towards Salant Street.
