A few short hours after the petira of HaRav HaGaon Rav Yaakov Kochav ZT”L, his seventh son was born. The child came into the world hours following his petira and a few hours before his father’s levaya, which began on Wednesday, 6 Adar-II at 14:00.
Rav Kochav who was Rosh Kollel “Maale Adumim” in Kiryat Sefer was niftar during the night at the age of 31 as a result of the difficult illness he was battling.
The levaya will begin at his father-in-law’s home 11 Kehillas Yaakov Street in Bnei Brak.
