Thursday night, at Ateres Esther in Lakewood, Rav Binyomin Cohen shlita, delivered a shiur l’zecher nishmas his illustrious father’s first Yahrtzeit –  Rav Feivel Cohen zatzal. There were over 100 yungeleit in attendance of the shiur.  Rav Binyomin Cohen is an outstanding Talmid Chochom who is already a Gadol B’Yisroel.  The many volumes of his seforim Chelkas Binyomim have become the go-to sefer on every topic that he covers, both in clarity as well as in depth and profundity.

Rav Elyashiv zt”l held of Rav Feivel zatzal in the highest regard.

The shiur delivered was explaining a Rashi in the halachos of Rabbinic Ribbis.

Rav Binyomin shlita ended with an aggadata about the Kaddish recited at a siyum.  His father used to ask why this kaddish is only recited on two occasions : once by a siyum and once at a burial. Rav Feivel zt”l explained the connection between both of these unique venues.  Rav Binyomin shlita added more Torah, along these lines.’

Watch

The loss of Rav Feivel zt”l to Klal Yisroel is enomous, but we can be comforted by the fact that he left remarkable seforim as well as a remarkable mechaber seforim as well in his son,yblc”tv’a.
