Tens of thousands attended the levayah of Hagaon Harav Avraham Erlanger, zt”l, Rosh Yeshivah, Yeshivas Kol Torah, in Yerushalayim on Monday morning.

Many yeshivos closed and sent their bachurim to attend the levayah as a last kavod for the Rosh Yeshivah. The levayah set out from the house of Harav Erlanger in Yerushalayim’s Kikar HaShabbos.
