On Shabbos afternoon, June 8, Rabbi Noson Kamenetsky – a transmitter of the Lithuanian Torah tradition, founding rosh yeshiva and dean of Yeshivas Itri, and author of The Making of a Godol – passed away in his Jerusalem home.
His final words were those of Sefiras HaOmer. His ​levaya (funeral) ​took place down the block from his home, at Yeshiva Torah Ohr, and he was buried on Har Hamenuchos, in Jerusalem.
Rabbi Noson Kamenetsky was born in Tzevtiyan, Lithuania in 1930. His father was the Tzevtiyaner Rav, Rav Yaakov Kamenetsky, and his maternal grandfather was the spiritual guide, or mashgiach ruchani, of the famed Slabodka Yeshiva, Rabbi Dov Tzvi Heller. The Rabbi was named after the Alter of Slabodka, Rabbi Noson Tzvi Finkel.
