The noted posek Rav Ezriel Auerbach will soon embark on a chizuk mission to the United States.
Scheduled to begin immediately after Yom Tov of Shavuos, the weeklong visit will feature Rav Ezriel as the guest of honor at the Adirei HaTorah gathering of Beth Medrash Govoha of Lakewood, to be held at Wells Fargo Arena. Rav Ezriel will deliver the keynote address.
Rav Ezriel will also deliver shiurim in batei midrash and yeshivos across the country.
Rav Ezriel, born in 1937, is a son of the posek hador Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach zt”l and a son-in-law of Rav Yosef Shalom Elyashiv zt”l. He married Rebbetzin Leah Elyashiv, daughter of Rav Elyashiv, in 1960. The couple had no children. In 2012, at the age of 75, Rav Ezriel became engaged to Minna Elyashiv, then 58, the widow of Rav Avraham Elyashiv, grandson of Rav Yosef Shalom Elyashiv.
Earlier today, Rav Ezriel, accompanied by his close confidant Rav Mordechai Diner and Yerushalayim Deputy Mayor Chaim Cohen, completed preparations for the journey, including finalizing his travel documentation. Deputy Mayor Cohen made a special trip to oversee the arrangements personally.
