Monday, July13, Yahrzeit of Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv 

The Yahrzeit (anniversary of passing) of Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv is observed on the 28th day of the Hebrew month of Tammuz. This date typically falls in July. Rabbi Elyashiv, who passed away in 5772 (2012), is buried in the Har Hamenuchot cemetery in Jerusalem.

Known as the Posek HaDor (the leading contemporary authority on Jewish Law) and the great Sar HaTorah, Rabbi Elyashiv dedicated his life almost exclusively to the relentless study of the Talmud and Torah in his modest apartment in Mea Shearim. Despite his paramount leadership of the Lithuanian-Haredi community, he requested that no eulogies be recited at his funeral so he could be laid to rest as a simple Jew alongside his wife
