Aveilus in Slonim Due to the Sudden Petira of R’ Yaakov Aharon Landau Z’L


candle914The news of the sudden petira of R’ Yaakov Aharon Landau Z”L, 56, spread throughout the Slonim Chassidus in Eretz Yisrael rapidly on Tuesday 16 Iyar. Just two days ago he celebrated the engagement of a son.

The niftar was a son of noted author Rav Betzalel Landau Z”L.

Family members, who are in shock, recall how earlier this week they celebrated the vort of a daughter and now they must deal with this untimely difficult loss. The niftar collapsed at home on Monday and was taken to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital, where he was niftar on Tuesday, his father’s yahrzeit.

Rav Landau is survived by seven children, five of whom are married and one a talmid in a Slonim Yeshiva.

The levaya began at Shamgar Funeral Home in Yerushalayim at 12:30 and at 13:00 at the Slonim Yeshiva on Salant Street.
