Only a few minutes after the petirah of the Gadol HaDor, HaGaon HaRav Gershon Edelstein, zt’l, on Tuesday morning, a baby boy was named after him in Bnei Brak.
The father, Reb Yitzchak Abramowitz, was a talmid of Ponevezh and was very close to the Rosh Yeshivah, z’tl.
In a tear-choked voice, the name of the new baby, Yerachmiel Gershon, was announced.
B’ezras Hashem, the new baby will be the first of many to carry the illustrious name…

Where is the Baby Registry link to send a gift to this baby?
Something isn’t clicking:- If ברית is today, this implies that this baby was born exactly 1 week ago on very 1st יארצייט of the legendary Moreinu HoRav Uri Zohar זצקללה”ה, so logic should have inspired the parents to name their son אורי
147 the father WAS a talmid of R’ Gershon, not R’ Zohar!
