Rav Dovid Eidenson zt”l

It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the passing of Rav Dovid Eidenson zt”l. He was 82 years old.

Rav Dovid was originally from Washington, D.C. In his youth, he journeyed to Lakewood to learn in Bais Medrash Govoah, where he attached himself to Rav Aharon Kotler zt”l and remained devoted to him as a talmid throughout his life. The imprint of his rebbi’s guidance and outlook never left him.

Over the years, he also developed a particularly close bond with Rav Moshe Feinstein zt”l. Many responsa in the volumes of Igros Moshe were written in direct response to questions posed by Rav Dovid, a testament to the esteem in which he was held.

Settling in Monsey many decades ago, Rav Dovid built a home steeped in Torah and yiras Shamayim. His family continues to reflect the values he cherished and embodied.

Rav Dovid was niftar this afternoon. The levaya is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at his residence, 2 Phyllis Terrace, with kevurah to take place in Eretz Yisroel.

Yehi zichro baruch.
