HaGaon HaRav Shmuel Auerbach ZATZAL was niftar on Shabbos in Yerushalayim. He suffered a cardiac incident on Friday night while at home. EMS responders began CPR and advanced resuscitation.
The rav, who was 87, suffered a heart attack in his home on Friday night at about 10:00PM. He was transported to Shaare Zedek Hospital while resuscitation efforts were continued. Askan Rav Benny Fischer was among those summoned. He eventually suffered a systemic failure of his vital organs.
It is reported that he complained of not feeling well and went to bed on Friday night. The bochur who was with him asked if everything was okay and when he did not respond, an ambulance was summoned.
The niftar was the elder son of the late Gadol Hador HaGaon HaRav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach ZT”L. During the years following the petira of HaGaon HaRav Yosef Sholom Elyashiv ZT”L, Rav Auerbach became the leader of the so-called Peleg Yerushalmi branch of chareidi litvish tzibur. The rav did not leave behind zera shel kayama.
The levaya will begin from Yeshivas Maalos Hatorah at 11:30 Sunday morning 10 Adar, and from there to Har Menuchos for kvura near his late wife, Rebitzen Rochel A”H
