Sad News – Rav Dovid Feinstein z’l

It is with deep sadness that we inform you of the passing of Rav Dovid Feinstein, zt”l, one of the generation’s leading poskim, decisors of Jewish law.

Rav Feinstein served as the rosh yeshiva of Mesivta Tiferes Jerusalem, located in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, since the passing in 1986 of his renowned father Rav Moshe Feinstein, zt”l. In addition to assuming his father’s role as head of the yeshiva, Rav Dovid was relied upon by the Torah community to succeed his father as a preeminent source of Halachic wisdom. He provided a clear, steady, and confident voice of Halachic guidance to innumerable individuals and institutions within the community.

Aside from Rav Dovid Feinstein’s celebrated scholarship, his piety and modesty were legendary. Any interaction with him served as a lesson in how one can embrace one’s own humility without diminishing one’s sense of responsibility. We will miss his Torah leadership, his astounding and deeply insightful wisdom, as well as his warmth and accessibility.
Over the weekend, the world lost a leading Torah decider of Jewish Law, Rav Dovid Feinstein, and a profoundly eloquent teacher of Torah and spokesman for Torah values for our Jewish community and beyond, Chief Rabbi Lord Jonathon Sacks.

Below you can find links to the eulogies that were given at both funerals.
