Rav Gershon Edelstein ZT"L
Today is the last day of shiva for Maran HaGaon Rav Gershon Edelstein, zecher tzaddik v’kadosh l’veracha. The entire Klal Yisrael is mourning the loss of this Torah giant, who was regarded as the Gadol Hador. He passed away during parashat Naso. In Israel, it was read a few days before his passing and outside of Israel it was read a few days after. The name of the Rabbi, Gershon, is not such a common name. The parasha began with the words נשא את ראש בני גרשון – which literally means, Lift up the heads of the children of Gershon. We all benefited from the Torah of Rav Gershon, who protected the entire generation with his learning. And thus, we are all his students. And students are considered like children. We all need to lift ourselves up and add a little more Torah to our lives so we can collectively fill in the great void that was left.
It is incumbent upon all of us, the בני גרשון, to lift ourselves us and accept some of the responsibility of the Rabbi’s great commitment to learning Torah. יהי זכרו ברויך.
