A well known mohel and avreich, Rav Yehuda Yitzchak Adler ZT”L, of Brachfeld Modi’in Illit, was niftar on Sunday after succumbing to a difficult illness.

Rav Adler was diagnosed on erev Rosh Hashanah two years ago and was periodically hospitalized. He was moved on motzei Shabbos from Bnei Brak’s Mayanei HaYeshua Hospital during the night to Tel Hashomer, as he developed a serious infection. His condition continued to deteriorate rapidly until his petira on Sunday. He was 35 years old.

The niftar was born in bnei Brak to HaGaon Rav Kalman Adler, among the Roshei Yeshiva at Kehillos Yaakov L’Tzi’irim and his mother, Rebbitzen Tova Gitel, daughter of HaGaon Rav Mordechai Shlomo Berman ZT”L, Rosh Yeshivas Ponevezh, a grandson of The Steipler Gaon.

In his youth, he learned in Talmid Torah Tashba’r on Chazon Ish Street in Bnei Brak until moving later on to the former Yeshivas Ramat Gan.

After his chasenah, he lived in Modi’in Illit and was considered one of the prominent avreichim in Kehillas Torah V’Tefilla in Brachfeld, and a pillar of the neitz minyan in Beis Knesset Yeshuos David. He was among the heads of the Kollel Bnei HaYeshivos. He was also known for his expertise in milah.

Despite his pain and suffering, he rarely missed a minyan as his mesirus nefesh was evident to all who knew him. He is survived by his parents, 16 siblings, his rebbetzin and four children.
