As someone who knew R’ Yisroel Elya Zatza”l, I would like to add a few words. Kind hearted, soft and gentle, he saw the world on a monchromatic level when it came to protecting torah values. This strength and self-perceived clarity allowed him to fight, Lema’an Hashem, even those individuals who approached him in confidance for guidance with personal problems in belief or behavior – if he understood with his remarkable Da’as torah that so was neccesary.
I and many others, think back with hakoras hatov to him for allowing us to move on from our Yiddishkeit, and realize how Emuna Peshuta can be so strong that it leaves no space for doubt.

#3: Yasher koach. When my rav referred me (coming from the United States) for my first opportunity to speak with Rav Elya, my rav cautioned me I should not expect more than two minutes. They became twenty minutes of great advice!
Once again, we have lost a pillar of Torah. Baruch dayan haemet.

He was the holy of holy and yet when you spoke with him, he made you feel so comfortable it was like you were shmoozing to an old buddy. i believe he also knew what you where thinking when speaking to him, i was once talking to him and i wasnt bringing up the thing on my mind that was really bothering me, out of the blue he asks me about it, he had no reason to know, it was something never brought up with him before
