Hagaon Rav Aryeh Finkel Shlita, the Rosh Yeshivah of MIR Brachfeld in Eretz Yisroel and one of the Ziknei Ha’dor, will in his advanced age be visiting the United States for the very first time.
The Rosh Yeshivah, who is 90 years old, will be visiting Lakewood during his visit to the States, though his exact schedule has not yet been determined. He is expected to visit several Yeshivas in Lakewood during his visit, which will primarily serve as a Chizuk for the B’nei Yeshivah, and Baalei Batim alike. The Rosh Yeshivah is expected to remain in Lakewood for two days.
The Rosh Yeshivah reportedly only left Eretz Yisroel one other time, which was during a visit to Canada approximately thirty years ago.
The trip is expected to take place in several weeks, and further details will be announced as they become available.
