rav-avrohom-dovid-atik1It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Rav Avrohom Dovid Atik zt”l, rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Be’er Shlomo in Yerushalayim. He was 71.

Rav Atik was born on 16 Iyar, tof shin dalet, to his parents Rav Shlomo Tzvi Atik, a prominent Karliner chossid, and Rebbetzin Chaya Leah, nee Weingarten, who were residents of the Old City of Yerushalayim.

In his youth, Rav Atik was a talmid of Yeshivas Brisk under Rav Berel Soloveitchik. He was a member of the first chaburah to learn under Rav Berel following the passing of his father, the Brisker Rov, Rav Yitzchok Zev Soloveitchik zt”l.

After his marriage to his wife, Rebbetzin Leah, nee Gruber, Rav Atik continued to be immersed in Torah learning and, at a young age, was appointed as rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Liflagos Reuven in Yerushalayim alongside his wife’s uncle, Rav Chaim Uri Freund. More recently, he served as the rosh yeshiva of the Satmar Yeshiva in Monsey, New York.

25 years ago, Rav Atik returned from the United States to Eretz Yisroel and opened Yeshiva Be’er Shlomo in Sanhedria Murchevet in Yerushalayim. Hundreds of young bnei Torah benefited from Rav Atik’s Torah and hadracha.

Recently, Rav Atik was unwell and hospitalized at Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center. Due to the serious illness he was battling, a name, Chaim, was added, but his condition continued to deteriorate until he passed away last night.

Rav Atik is survived by his respected family of marbitzei Torah.

His brothers are Rav Mendel Atik, rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Eretz Tzvi in Yerushalayim, and Rav Yosef Atik of Bnei Brak.

The levaya was held last night in Yerushalayim, followed by kevurah on Har Hazeisim.

Yehi zichro boruch.
