Chai Yitzchok (Isaac) Twersky of Rachmastrivka-Boro Park (1931) Rachmastrivka dynasty's head rabbi who lives New Square often called "Rachmastrivka Rebbe", on ventilator with pneumonia in 2016, yo-yoyed on and off ventilator when hospitalised with pneumonia and other ailments in June-July 2022. Spent three months in hospital, very frail. Hebrew name for search purposes: חי יצחק טברסקי

 

Chai Yitzchok Isaac Twersky, the Rachmastrivke Rebbe, finally dead at 92 after a year of treatment at a "home mini-hospital". His condition had turned critical yesterday.

Haredi rabbi Hagaon Harav Aharon Schechter is in critical condition, usual tefillos are needed.

Fucking Schechter has been in critical condition so many times he must have a reserved rooom in ICU.

Ones with an Hebrew Wiki but no English one:

Zuriel Shaked? (1920) Libyan-born Israeli rabbi, obese and ancient. Hebrew name for search purposes: צוריאל שקד 

 

Rabbi Zuriel Shaked prematurely dead at 103. Seems to cement conservative rabbi and author Erwin Schild (who's 103 and has been on oxygen since 2015) as the world's oldest rabbi.

If you are weeping and searching for a brand new decrepit rabbi, I present to you Mordechai's 90-year old brother Yitzchok Ezrachi (wiki).

Not mentioned before, but it seems London rabbi Elyakim Schlesinger (wiki) is still alive at 102.

A Rabbi who was never mentioned before is Matisyahu Salomon (wiki). Very old, has needed tefillos since 2016 at least, airlifted to hospital many times, in failing health again lately. Quite impressive.

Matisyahu Salomon dead at 86.

Well, notable rabbis haven't been falling like flies recently, actually haven't been dying at all since Kanievsky died in March, so here's a small list of who we've got now. List has/will have all or nearly all English wiki-worthy names born in the 1920s and "honorary mentions" born later...Some names are later additions.

Pictures above for some of them

 

Zevulun Charlop (1929) Boring American guy #4. Very quiet nowadays.

 

Zevulun Charlop dead at 94.

Some very young Chabad Jews who believe Menachem Mendel Schneerson is the messiah (long story) tried to expand the building.
