Levayah for Harav Belsky, zt”l, Held Sunday in Yerushalayim

The levayah for Hagaon Harav Chaim Yisroel Belsky, zt”l, continued to Eretz Yisrael on Sunday, where multitudes of bnei Torah gave the kavod ha’acharon to a gadol b’Yisrael.

The levayah began at Yeshivas Mir in Yerushalayim on Sunday evening, shortly after 7:00 p.m. Israel time. Maspidim included Harav Lazer Yehuda Finkel, Rosh Yeshivah of Mir Yerushalayim; Harav Boruch Dov Povarsky, Rosh Yeshivah of Ponevezh; Harav Reuven Feinstein, Rosh Yeshivah of Tiferes Yerushalayim in Staten Island; Harav Binyamin Carlebach, Rosh Yeshivah of Mir Yerushalayim; Harav Reuven Cohen, Rosh Kollel Kiryat Sefer and son-in-law of the niftar; and Harav Dovid Goldstein, maggid shiur at Torah Vodaath and son-in-law of the niftar.

The mittah was then escorted to the headquarters of the Central Committee for Taharas Hamishpachah in Israel — an organization in whose holy work Harav Belsky had been heavily involved — where Harav Mordechai Auerbach, head of that organization, delivered a hesped.

The levayah then continued on to Yeshivas Kamenitz, where maspidim included Harav Reuven Scheiner, Rosh Yeshivah of Kamenitz; Harav Yisroel Reisman, Rosh Yeshivah of Torah Vodaath; Harav Benzion Berl, son-in-law of the niftar; and Reb Moshe Shamshonovitz, head of Bais Hamussar in Yerushalayim.

The holy niftar was then escorted on his final journey, to Chelkas Harabbanim on Har Hamenuchos.
