(LEVAYA HOOK-UP INFO BELOW) We regret to inform you of the sudden Petira of Rav Elya Boruch Finkel ZATZAL, one of the Roshei Yeshivos and Magid Shiurim in Mir Yerushalayim. Rav Elya Boruch was Niftar a few moments ago after suffering a cardiac arrest at the age of 60. The Levaya will take place in Mir Yerushalayim on Monday - exact time will be announced on YWN.
Rav Elya Boruch ZATAZL will always be remembered by his thousands of Talmidim, as someone who devoted himself to each and every Talmid, and was always seen with a smile on his face.
UPDATE: The Levaya is scheduled for 2:00AM EST (9:00AM Israel time) at the Mir Yerushalayim. Two telephone numbers have been set up by duvys.com and YWN for those wishing to listen to the Levaya.
(712) 432-1001 Access Code: 423452599#
(712) 432-1001 Access Code: 425164792#
Additionally, there are possibly locations being set up in Lakewood and NY for those wishing to listen to the Levaya Bitzibur. As soon as YWN has that information, it will be posted.
Yehi Zichro Boruch……Boruch Dayan Ha’Emmes.

REBBE! REBBE!, HOW I MISS YOU ALREADY SO MUCH! I REMEMBER WHEN I LEFT THE MIR 4 YEARS AGO, YOU ASKED ME TO COME BACK TO YOUR SHIUR. HOW I MISS YOU NOW. YOU WERE SO CARING TO EACH AND EVERY TALMID! YOUR SHIUR WAS DELIVERED WITH SUCH CLARITY, MASTERFULLY WEAVING MEFORSHIM INTO POSHUTE PSHAT OF THE GEMARA, RASHI, AND TOSFOS! HOW CAN YOU LEAVE US SO SOON? THE WORLD STILL NEEDS YOUR TORAH AND WARMTH! OY, HASHEM PLEASE! AD MOSAI?! BORUCH DAYAN HAEMES! MAY REBBER BE A MEILITZ YOSHER FOR ALL HIS FAMILY, TALMIDIM, AND ALL OF KLAL YISROEL! WRITTEN WITH TEARS, A TALMID

To clarify:
Reb Nosson Tzvi’s wife is also a Finkel, the daughter of R’Bainish ZT”L. Rev Elya Baruch ZT”L was the son of Reb Moshe Finkel ZT”L who was a Brother to Reb Bainish. That makes a first cousin to Reb Nosson Tzvi’s wife. (Reb Nosson Tzvi is I think a second or third cousin to his wife)

What a big loss to Klal Yisroel! He was a big Tzaddik. (Rav Nosson Tzvi is his first cousin)

What a tragedy! I spent many years in his Shuir as well as enjoying Shabbosim at his house and can tell you that he was a real tzaddik. He had a special kesher to the American bochorim. (Yes, he is related to the Rosh Hayeshiva - from both the Rosh Hayeshiva’s side and as a first cousin to the Rebitzin).
U’macha Hashem Dimah M’al Kol Ponim.

Boruch dayan ha’emes. He made every American bochur feel right at home. Each made each of us feel as though we were his favorite Talmid. What a geshmake shiur!

We get orphaned a little more with the passing of each of these great people. How Sad! We must stay strong and daven to hashem for mercy!

This is unbelievable and heartbreaking. Fellow yidden, we can not just go on the way we are. Hashem is telling us loud and clear that we must change something. These past couple of weeks have been so scary. Let’s work on the reason we lost the Beis Hamikdash in the first place. Sinas Chinam. Let’s talk to, think of and act to every precious yid with respect and dignity. The new cycle of Shiur Yomi on Shmiras Halashon and Chafetz Chaim is starting on Rosh Chodesh next week. It might change your life. We have to do something!

Is there a number to call to hear the Levaya live?!

I hope so

Baruch Dayan Haemes. Rebbe will be sorely missed!!
yweditor:
can you make either an online streaming hookup or a conference call so that his talmidim not in the ny/nj area will be able to listen in. Yasher Koach!
Editors Note: As previously said, as soon as there is a phone number/hookup for the Levaya it will be posted. YWN is working hand-in-hand with the family and the Yeshiva to have this arranged, and will be done shortly.

he had the remarkable ability to bring the best out of everyone.he was the one who inspired everyone to excel when he was only 17 years old.
I mean everyone . the older yunge leit and of course his comtemporaries. he did not push us up he drew us up . he raised the bar every day.he made us want to emulate and to imitate R’ nochom. He made us crave to say chaburos. he stirred the bais medrash like a straw that stirs the drink. He created the excitement. he created a competitive spirit with his brilliance, his extraordinary depth, his creative mind and his wit and humor. He was a 17 year old mass of Torah energy and joy. He made the MIR as much as anyone.
