Hundreds participated in the erev Shabbos levaya for a well-known photographer of rabbonim and Gedolei Yisrael, R’ Baruch Moshe Yaakov Ovitz Z”L.
The levaya took place at the Kretchnif Beis Medrash in Rehovot, where he belonged to his entire life. The Kevura was in the local Bais Hakvaros in Kretchnif section.
Rav Baruch was niftar during the morning hours of erev Shabbos following a difficult illness, during which he endured difficult yisurim for some two years.

Rav Boruch was one of the sweetest and most ehrlich people I have ever met. He has been greatly missed at Rebbishe simchas over the past two years since he became sick. Hard to believe that he will not be returning to his perch.
