Hagon HaRav Zundal Kroizer Shlita, one of the Ziknei Yerushalayim, and one of the biggest Gedolim and Tzadikim in the world today, is in the hospital, and reportedly in serious condition. Rav Kroizer has remained unknown to most people, as he sits and learns privately. Very rarely does he allow people into his home to give them Brachos or advice.
It is unknown why he was hospitalized.
Please be Mispallel for Zundel ben Faiga.
The following is an excerpt from an article that was written in the Yated by Rabbi Pinchoz Lipschutz in 2011:
He has written and published seforim on all of�Shas,�Chumash,�Tanach�and�Tehillim. He even published a�siddur�with his own�peirush. Yet most people have never heard of him.
His name is�Rav�Zundel.�Rav�Chaim Brim, a�Yerushalayimer�giant who was steeped in�Torah�and all its secrets, is quoted as saying that if there are two people in this world in whose merit the world stands, they are�Rav�Chaim Kanievsky and�Rav�Zundel Kroizer.
If so, you will ask, how can it be that a man of such caliber remains unknown in a generation in which giants are so needed and so venerated?
It is actually a gift from�Hashem, says�Rav�Chaim Kanievsky. He remarked that it must be that�Hashem�loves�Rav�Zundel more than he loves�Rav�Chaim, because He keeps�Rav�Zundel hidden, and people don�t bother him with�shailos; for�brachos�andtzorchei�tzibbur�the way they bother�Rav�Chaim. Since he did not become famous, he is able to learn�Torah�uninterrupted, day and night.
And he does. He wakes up around�chatzos�every night to learn until daybreak, at which time he�davens�Shacharis�kevosikin. He has been doing so for as long as anyone can remember. EveryShabbos�morning, after�davening, the�bochurim�in his presence are treated to the special�zechus�of being able to ask him any question on any�sugyah�in�Shas�and receiving his answers…..

“the way they bother�Rav�Chaim”
BOTHER ?!? WHY IS IT A BOTHER?
Our gedolim are happy when people ask for Daas Torah………
I heard the name is R’ Zundel ben Toiba Faiga. Please verify and let us know so we can all be mispallel for this giant
His name is Zundel Ben Toiba Faiga
Confirmed, When I asked his son for his father’s name he replied “Der tatta’s nomin ben Toba Faiga”
(My father’s name ben Tova faiga. He would not say his father’s name even to tell me)
When a chaver visited Reb Nosson Tzvi Finkel ZAL in his sukka the Sukkos prior to his petirah Reb Zundel AMUSH came to visit, when he left Reb Nosson Tzvi told my Chaver “Know him? He is a very holy jew!)
May he have a refuah Shelaima!
Hockintherock I guess Reb Chaim disagrees with you because he called it a bother. Don’t you think he’d rather learn uninterrupted?
I knew two of his sons.
Toiba and Tova are not the same name. Toiba is a yonah and tova is gittle
Any good news???
