Rabbi Avraham Kahaneman z"l


Rabbi Avraham Kahaneman z"l

B"H

The litvishe Yeshivat "Ponebezh" in Bnei Brak (near Tel Aviv) is considered an elite Yeshiva and it isn't easy to get accepted as a student. Those getting in have to accept a rather conservative ideology. Meaning not going to cinemas nor watching TV, as some modern litvishe Haredim like to do. However, Ponebezh has had its ups and downs including plenty of skandals as well.

Rabbi Avraham Kahaneman was the great Rosh Yeshiva of Ponibezh and passed away at the age of 97 yesterday. His funeral is taking place at 11am this morning; starting at Ponebezh.
