Baruch Dayan, the truth teller: Tel Hashomer Hospital: Rabbi Avraham Düsseldorf, the late Rabbi, passed away tonight at the age of 75, after collapsing yesterday afternoon at his home in Bnei Brak.
The deceased, zt"l, was a child of the Righteous Among the Nations. His parents gave him up when he was a child to a family of Righteous Among the Nations. After the Holocaust, he was informed that his parents were murdered in Auschwitz for the Kiddush of God. His uncle and aunt took him away from the Christian family with whom he grew up, and raised him in their home in Holland. At the age of 17, he was sent to study in Switzerland, with the late Rabbi Kopelman.
At the age of 20, he immigrated to Israel and studied at the Kol Torah Yeshiva and later at Ponivez, where he remained until his last day - as a truly blessed young man. When he reached his prime, he married the daughter of Rabbi Yitzhak Zvi Schwartz zt"l. .

He studied Talmud all his life as a young man in the Ponivez Kolel, where he would come every day - even on Shabbat. He wrote the books "Tzedek La Avraham" on the tractates studied in the Ponivez Kolel. Last Shabbat, he sat for five hours straight in the Ponivez Kolel and studied. His wife, who is alive, took care of the household with her work as an accountant.
Benz used to pray every day at the Lederman Synagogue, located near his home, where he regularly sat, for decades, on a bench next to the Harach Kanievsky, whom he liked very much. He also gained closeness from the Harach Shteinman, who gave him approval for his books.
He left behind two sons and two daughters, for whom he always ensured that they could devote themselves to Torah, without financial worries.
His funeral will leave at 1:45 PM from the Ponevezh Kollel through the Lederman Synagogue - and from there to Mount of Rest in Jerusalem, where he requested to be buried.
May his memory be blessed.
