Yehi Zichro Boruch……Boruch Dayan Ha’Emmes.

Its a sad night. My rebbi (teacher), Reb Elya Baruch Finkel passed away tonight at the age of 60 right after suffering a heart attack. How long was he my rebby? Officially, he I was in his shiur (lecture) for a year and 7 months. But in reality he has been walking with me through life for 14 years ever since I met him. He had a profound impact on me by making me feel like I was really part of the Torah world to which he belonged. He constantly tried to build me up and realise what a ben Torah I was, like all his talmidim. http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/ebf.jpg
