YWN regrets to inform you of the Petira of Hagaon HaRav Meir Soloveitchik ZATZAL, the Rosh Yeshiva of Brisk in the Zichron Moshe neighborhood of Yerushalayim. He was 87 years old.

Around two weeks ago he was rushed to the hospital after having suffered a serious stroke. He remained in an unconsious state until his Petira on Motzei Shabbos.

Rav Meir was a brother of Hagaon HaRav Dovid, and uncle of Hagaon HaRav Avroham Yehoshua – the Roshei Yeshiva of Yeshivas Brisk.

The Levaya will be on Sunday morning at 11:00AM in front of his home on Rechov Chazonovitz in Yerushalayim.
