HaRav Shabtai Atun zt"l

by Yated Ne'eman Staff

Ozerov-Chenchin institutions in Bnei Brak recently sponsored a series of events marking the 35th yahrtzeit of the Admor of Ozerov-Chenchin, HaRav Moshe Yechiel Halevy Epstein, zt"l, former President of the Council of Torah Sages and author of the monumental Torah masterwork, the 11- volume, Eish Dos and the 12-volume Be'er Moshe on Torah and Nevi'im.

Chassidim and followers from all over Israel spent Shabbos Vo'era in the company of the present Admor, listening carefully to his words of Torah about the pressing need to strengthen and continue the legacy of his grandfather zt"l by studying his Torah and wisdom for generations to come.

On the eve of Rosh Chodesh Shvat, a special seudas mitzvah and siyum haShas was held in the Ozerov Beis Medrash in Bnei Brak, attended by prominent rabbis and chassidim who came from all over Israel for this special event. Rabbi Asher Landau, a noted rabbinic leader in Bnei Brak, completed the Shas in public. The honorary president of Mosdos Ozerov, HaRav Moshe Yaakov Burak from Toronto, Canada, also attended. The Admor spoke at length about the previous Admor's greatness, and how he would devote his undivided attention to every Jew's problem, large or small, while personally feeling their pain and suffering. He also quoted from the Admor zt"l's Torah, already familiar to so many Jews from every community and walk of life. The Admor encouraged everyone to strengthen his own faith and fear of Heaven by following the Admor zt"l's ways and by studying his Torah.

On Rosh Chodesh Shevat itself — the actual yahrtzeit — chassidim, baalei batim and talmidei chachomim visited the tzaddik's grave, and joined in tefilloh on behalf of all of Klal Yisroel, expressing the hope that the Admor zt"l would intervene on behalf of the entire Jewish people for sholom, parnossoh, health and happiness, with the coming of the Moshiach and our spiritual redemption speedily in our days.

Zechuso yogen oleinu, Amen!
