Thursday, 28 Sivan 5773 marks eleven months since the petira of Gadol Hador Maran HaGaon HaRav Yosef Sholom Elyashiv ZT”L. Family members and talmidim of Yeshivas Ha’ran will mark the event with a siyum on Shas and a hachnasas Sefer Torah which was written לעילוי נשמתו.
The completion of the Sefer Torah will take place in the home of the rav’s son, HaGaon Rav Moshe Elyashiv, and from there the Sefer Torah will be placed in the caravan shul where the Gadol HaDor was mispallel. The writing of the Sefer Torah began during the shiva. Talmid HaRav Tzvi Weissfish was behind the initiative.
There will also be the siyum HaShas after completion of Shas seven times by hundreds of talmidim of Yeshivas Ha’ran and family members.
HaGaon Rav Binyomin Dovid Elyashiv will complete Shas at the siyum and Kaddish will be recited by HaGaon Rav Avrohom Elyashiv.

What about a Sefer Torah written in memory of Rav Scheinberg zt”l? Does only Rav Elyashiv count and not Rav Scheinberg, G-d forbid?
#1 Is your question why Rav Elyashiv’s talmidim don’t do the same for Rav Scheinberg or why Rav Scheinberg’s talmidim aren’t doing it for him?
