But in the Beit Vegan neighborhood in Jerusalem: This morning, Rabbi Moshe Geraz, the late, passed away at the age of 79, after falling ill with a serious illness two months ago.
He left behind 4 daughters and his son, Rabbi Matanya Gerz, the head of the Kiryat Malachi Yeshiva. His father is the Gaon Rabbi Zevulun, zt”l, who was one of the greatest tzaddikim of Jerusalem.
The late, z"l, founded the HaGara Auerbach hair at the HaGara synagogue in the neighborhood, which is held on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, and since then he has not missed a single class, until he fell ill.
On Seder night, he stayed with his daughter in Bnei Brak, telling stories of the Exodus from Egypt, until he suddenly collapsed and was evacuated by rescue workers to the Mayanei Hayeshua Hospital.
He spent his life in education as a supervisor in the Ministry of Education. When he retired, he began studying as a full-time student at the Be'er HaTorah Yeshiva, and attended all of the classes of the Gaon Rabbi Gabriel Yosef Levi. About a month ago, the Rabbi Auerbach came to visit him in the hospital.
His funeral will leave at 1:00 PM from his home at 73 Beit Vegan Street, Jerusalem, for Mount Hamunehot.
