Shimon Yehoshua HY”D’s father, Rav Rafi Asulin, is the principal of Yeshivat Sha’alei Torah, a Torani Yeshiva Tochanit in RBS A with a large Anglo contingent in the student body. Rav Rafi YBL”CH, is an amazing Mechanech, as can be seen in his comments after his son’s falling in Gaza.
May Shimon Yehoshua HY”D be a Meilitz Yosher for his family and all Klal Yisrael, and may the family know no more tza’ar.
