There will be a Levaya in Lakewood today at 6:00 pm in BMG Bais Yitzchok following the Levaya in Chicago at 10:00 am details TBA.
The yeshiva and Torah world is in shock and mourning the sudden petirah of the Rosh Yeshiva of Telshe Chicago after suffering a heart attack right after Shabbos before havdala he was 63. He was in Lakewood last week for a simcha and made a vort for a child 2 weeks ago.
Matzav- Rav Levin was a son of Rav Avrohom Chaim Levin zt”l, rosh yeshiva of Yeshivas Telshe in Chicago, and a son-in-law of Rav Shmuel Faivelson zt”l, rosh yeshiva of Bais Medrash L’Torah of Monsey.
It was less than four years ago that Rav Avrohom Chaim Levin was niftar, and Rav Shmuel Yehuda, who had been a maggid shiur in Telshe, assumed the position of rosh yeshiva. Rav Shmuel Yehuda was beloved by the talmidim, who connected to him in a unique way, not just drinking in from his wellsprings of knowledge, but benefitting from watching him and learning from his pure Torah hashkafah. His reinkeit, his aidelkeit, and his boundless devotion to the yeshiva and its talmidim were sources of inspiration to all who knew him.
His petirah is a shock to all who knew him, plunging the world of Telshe and the greater Olam HaTorah into morning. Levayah details will be posted once they are finalized.
