This evening, as Rosh Chodesh Nissan begins, Maran Hagon Rav Yosef Sholom Elyashiv Shlita, is marking his 101st birthday.
A large group of his Talmidim, those close to him, and family members, gathered at his Bais Medrash to Daven for the Refuah Shelaima of the Posek Hador, who has not left his home in the past two weeks to deliver his Shiurim, due to severe pain in his legs.
Until two weeks ago, Rav Elyashiv kept to his busy schedule, delivering his Shiurim, and seeing dozens of people seeking advice, Brachos, and Halachic questions.
His day starts at 3:00AM when he awakens to start learning. He leaves his home at 6:00AM for Shacharis, which always has numerous Brissim taking place, as people would all like to have the Zechus of Rav Elyashiv as Sandek. In the evening, he leaves his home once again for Maariv, and to deliver his daily Shiur.Rav Elyashiv was Zoche seeing the birth of a sixth generation close to two years ago, a great grandchild to Rav Chaim Kanievsky Shlita, a son to his great grandchild, R’ Yonatan Hoenigsberg.
May he be Zoche to greet Moshiach in our days!
