TRAGEDY: 31-Year-Old Rosh Kollel In Modiin Illit Is Niftar; Hours Later A Son Is Born; His 7th Child

koA few short hours after the petira of HaRav HaGaon Rav Yaakov Kochav ZT”L, his seventh son was born. The child came into the world hours following his petira and a few hours before his father’s levaya, which began on Wednesday, 6 Adar-II at 14:00.

Rav Kochav who was Rosh Kollel “Maale Adumim” in Kiryat Sefer was niftar during the night at the age of 31 as a result of the difficult illness he was battling.

The levaya will begin at his father-in-law’s home 11 Kehillas Yaakov Street in Bnei Brak.

    Yeshivaworld editor: Was his name Rav Yaakov Kochav or Rav Gross? The article is very unclear.
