It was over 50 years ago when the niftar, HaRav Rafael Yaakov Mann Rokovsky zt�l was sent by gedolei yisrael to become the rav of Jerusalem�s Hadassah Hospital. The niftar busied himself with gemilus chassodim throughout the years, always concerned with doing his utmost in his post to assist others. He authored the seven volume sefer Zruchas Bas Ami.

The levaya got underway at the Sanhedria Funeral Home at noon Sunday, 20 Teves 5772. The aveilim are sitting shiva at 17-Alpeh Givat Shaul Street in Yerushalayim.
