R’ Ezriel Bergman, the son of R’ Meir Tzvi Bergman shlit”a, was niftar suddenly on Thursday, the same day his father arrived in the United States to attend Sunday’s Adirei Hatorah event. He was 70 years old.
On the orders of his doctors, R’ Meir Tzvi will not be returning to Eretz Yisroel for the levaya. Instead, the rosh yeshiva will be sitting in Lakewood.
However, due to his son’s petirah, the rosh yeshiva will not be able to attend the Adirei Hatorah event.
R’ Ezriel, an einikel of Rav Shach zt”l, was widely known as a gadol b’torah in his own right.
The levaya is taking place today at Yeshivas Rashbi in Bnei Brak, with kevurah in Elad.
