levaya-of-rav-michel-yehudah-lefkowitz[Photos below.] An estimated 100,000 people attended the levaya today of Rav Michel Yehudah Lefkowitz zt”l, rosh yeshiva of Yeshivas PonovezhL’tzeirim and one of the senior gedolei Torah of Eretz Yisroel. Rav Lefkowitz was niftar yesterday at the age of 97.

Yidden around the globe continue to mourn the loss of this Torah giant.

Rav Michel Yehudah, a member of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah of Degel HaTorah, was a talmid of the Chazon Ish, Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, and one of the most prominent talmidim of Rav Shlomo Heiman.

Rav Michel Yehudah’s passing leaves an irreplacable void.

The levaya began at 10:30 a.m. at Rav Lefkowitz’s home on Rechov Vilkomirer in Bnei Brak.

Police closed down several streets. Due to the heavy heat, Hatzalah handed out water to the public.

Rav Michel Yehudah requested that only his two sons be maspid him.
