Rav Dov Tzvi Karelenstein zt”l

It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Rav Dov Tzvi Karelenstein zt”l, rosh yeshiva of the Grodno Yeshiva in Ashdod. He was 81.

Rav Karelenstein’s petirah comes just days after he had experienced miraculous improvement at Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon.

Rav Karelenstein was hospitalized at Barzilai in very serious condition this past week and doctors at the hospital had given up home. But then, suddenly, Rav Karelenstein took a marked turn for the better in what was called a “miracle.” However, today, the neshamah of the octogenarian rosh yeshiva ascended to Shomayim, bringing a close to a life of harbotzas haTorah, hasmadah, hadrachah and unremitting avodas Hashem.

Rav Karelenstein was the author of sefer Maglei Tzedek on Shas and al haTorah.

The levayah will be held at 7 p.m. at the Grodno Yeshiva in Ashdod, followed by kevurah on Har Hamenuchos in Yerushalayim.

Yehi zichro boruch.
