A major decision regarding the future of the Keren Olam HaTorah may be imminent, it has emerged, after a visit by Rav Aviezer Piltz, Rosh Yeshivas Tifrach, to the home of Maran Rav Moshe Hillel Hirsch, Rosh Yeshivas Slabodka.
During the visit, which took place over Pesach, Rav Piltz is seen expressing deep gratitude to Rav Hirsch for his pivotal role in establishing Keren Olam HaTorah, a fund that has supported the financial stability of the Israeli Torah world over the past year.
Rav Hirsch shared that the original fundraising campaign was only intended to cover one year, and the funds are nearly depleted. He revealed that he is currently weighing whether and how to launch another campaign for the upcoming year.

Photographer Ezra Trabelsi, a longtime talmid of HaGaon Rav Meir Mazuz zt”l, captured the moving scenes from the Rosh Yeshiva’s levayah—from Yeshiva Kisei Rachamim in Bnei Brak to his final resting place in the Ponevezh cemetery.
Trabelsi, who was raised and educated within the institutions of Kisei Rachamim from a young age, documented the tearful procession with deep emotion. Throughout the levayah, overwhelmed by the loss of his revered rebbi, he broke down in tears multiple times.
His footage offers a raw, heartfelt glimpse into the pain and reverence felt by thousands who came to accompany the rosh yeshiva on his final journey.

A heavy cloud of mourning has descended upon the Torah world with the passing of HaGaon HaRav Meir Mazuz zt”l, Rosh Yeshivas Kisei Rachamim in Bnei Brak, a towering figure in the Sephardic Torah world and one of its most revered and uncompromising voices.
Rav Mazuz was hospitalized in recent days, and his condition deteriorated significantly just before his petirah on Shabbos, the seventh day of Pesach. He was 80 years old.
Born on the 13th of Nissan in 1945 in Tunisia, Rav Mazuz was the son of Rav Matzliach Mazuz zt”l, a leading figure in Tunisian Jewry and the founder of Yeshivas Kisei Rachamim.

With the passing of HaGaon Rav Meir Mazuz zt”l, Rosh Yeshivas Kisei Rachamim, renowned photographer Shuki Lerer presents a moving collection of photographs capturing the life and legacy of the great Rosh Yeshiva over many decades.
The gallery includes rare images from various pivotal moments—gatherings of El HaMaayan alongside Maran Rav Ovadia Yosef zt”l and other gedolei Yisroel, scenes from Yamim Tovim, and memorable occasions throughout the Jewish calendar.
These powerful photos serve as a visual tribute to 80 years of Torah, leadership, and unwavering dedication to Klal Yisroel.

As the medical condition of the Rosh Yeshiva of Kisei Rachamim, Rav Meir Mazuz, remains critical, the rabbanim of the Tunisian Jewish community in Eretz Yisroel and abroad have issued a heartfelt public letter calling for urgent tefillos.
The letter, titled “A Sefer Torah is in Distress,” urges the public to gather in shuls at midnight on the night of Shevi’i Shel Pesach, to open the Aron Kodesh and daven during this auspicious time for the complete recovery of Rav Refael Meir Nissim ben Kamasna. The letter expresses a plea for Hashem’s mercy and healing for the Rosh Yeshiva.
