Rebbetzin Kanievsky- miracle worker died Oct 15.
Rabbi Koppelman- one of the oldest rosh yeshivas (Switzerland) died June 17.
Rabbi Elazar Abuhatzeira- kabbalah teacher, died July 29, stabbed.
and
Rav Nosson Tzvi Finkel- Rosh Yeshiva of Mir Yeshiva, died November 8.
The greatest people of our generation have been dying and all of Klal Yisroel is suffering. I attended the Levaya, where we escort the dead for burial, of Rav Nosson Tzvi Finkel. 100,000 people showed up to escort him to the cemetery. To see 100,000 orthodox Jews is an incredible, unbelievable testament of our survival, but also a testament to the value we see in preforming the mitzvah of accompanying our dead.
With the greatest lights of the Jewish Nation burning out, I wonder who will rise to take their places.
