Siyum Held in Memory of HaRav Kreiswirth zt"l

by Betzalel Kahn

A special event was held to mark the completion of the entire Shas in memory of HaRav Chaim Kreiswirth zt"l, the late gavad of Antwerp, on the occasion of his fourth yahrtzeit at Beis Knesses Ahavas Torah in Jerusalem.

The event was attended by gedolei Torah. The siyum itself was led by the deceased's son, HaRav Dov Tzvi Kreiswirth, rosh yeshiva of Merkaz HaTorah and rov of Beis Medrash Derech Chaim and Kehillas Meir in Jerusalem. Speakers included HaRav Boruch Mordechai Ezrachi, rosh yeshiva of Yeshivas Ateres Yisroel; HaRav Yitzchok Tuvioh Weiss, gavad of the Eida Chareidis of Jerusalem; the deceased's son-in-law, HaRav Pinchos Zelivansky, rosh kollel of Kollel Derech Chaim, named after the deceased; and HaRav Binyomin Finkel.

On Monday, the day of the yahrtzeit, family members, talmidim and others who hold his memory fondly went up to the gravesite at Har Hamenuchos.
