Mourning spread through the Torah community on motzei Shabbos Rosh Chodesh Kislev upon hearing of the petira of HaGaon HaRav Yitzchok Bernstein ZT�L, Rosh Yeshivas Knesses Chizkiyahu in Kfar Chasidim and a well-known marbitz Torah for some 50 years. The niftar was 79.
The levaya began on Sunday morning at 11:00am at the yeshiva.

this is horrific & tragic. our Gedolim are leaving us on a weekly basis & its just getting worse R�L. do you remember just a few years ago-before this mageifa of Gedolim started-when we only heard once or twice a year c�v that a tzaddik was niftar? 28 Gedolei Hador have passed away already this year R�L
just to mention the ones niftar THIS PAST MONTH
1)Rav Shalom Weinberger zt�l-Tchaba Rov,-in Yerushalyim-October 29 2014-74
2)Rabbi Shlomo Shalush ZT�L-Chief Sephardi Rabbi of Haifa-November 4 2012-74
3)HaRav Yaakov Dovid HaKohen Katz ZT�L, Rosh Yeshiva of the main Chabad Yeshiva in Kfar Chabad-November 16 2014-83
4)Rav Moshe Twersky ZT�L- rosh yeshiva at Yeshiva Toras Moshe in Sanhedriah Murchevet in Yerushalayim

is it even POSSIBLE for someone to say this is coincidence?
will WE EVER start doing teshuva?
I�m sorry to be the one to say this & it brings tears to my eyes, but righteous tzaddikim don�t belong staying in a world of people who won�t do teshuva, they belong with Hashem & his shechina in olam Haba.
If we want Hashem to give us these Tzaddikim to guide us through the generation then we need to listen to them %100 & we need to do teshuva to be deserving of their guidance & Torah.
May we all start doing Teshuva ASAP before any other Tzaddikim are niftar C�V
May his neshama have an aliya
Thank you Sam Klien the signs can not get any clearer.
We also have to comprehend what a Blessed Nation we are, that there are in the 1st place, so many Gedolim in our midst, despite the sad reality that this leads to more Petiros of Gedolim.
