Tragedy struck Modiin Illit with the petira of 26-year-old avreich Rav Yitzchak Zeev Heller ZL. Gedolei Yisrael added the name Refael as a segulah for a refuah prior to his death. He fought a difficult illness during recent months.
The niftar was born in Netivot to Rav David Heller, one of the more prominent avreichim in the ‘???? ???????’ Kollel in the southern city. He learned in Ohr Yisrael Yeshiva in Petach Tikvah and the Yad Aharon Yeshiva Gedola in Yerushalayim. It was there that he became a close talmid to HaGaon HaRav Yehoshua Eichenstein Shlita.
He married a daughter of Rav Yehuda Shaul Gold of Bnei Brak and they settled in Modiin Illit. He is survived by his rebitzen and three children, with the oldest being 3.
The levaya was held on Tuesday, 14 Elul at 2:30PM at 8 Toledano Street in Bnei Brak.
