Thousands of people, led by leading Gedoloim and Rabbonim, attended the Bnei Brak Levaya of Mekubal Rav Sharya Deblitzky (דבילצקי) ZT”L, who was niftar on Friday night at the age of 93.

The levaya began at 10:00AM from his home on Yerushalayim Street in Bnei Brak, opposite Yeshivas Tiferet Tzion. The Kvura was in Kiryat Shaul in Tel Aviv, where he was interred in a family plot.

Among the maspidim were Ravaad Eida Chareidis HaGaon HaRav Moshe Sternbuch, Mashgiach HaGaon HaRav Don Segal and others. Hagaon HaRav Chaim Kanievskey, Hagaon HaRav Gershon Edelstein were among the dozens of Gedolim and Rabbonim in attendance.

The niftar was transported to Mayanei HaYeshua at about midnight on shabbos after explaining he does not feel well. His condition deteriorated rapidly, and CPR was performed. He was Niftar short time later.

Kikar Shabbos News adds that on Friday night, in his home, the niftar requested that Yud Gimmel Midos be recited, and he was niftar hours later.
