Baruch Dayan Ha’emes 💔
The CBN team is saddened to report the petirah of HaRav HaTzaddik Reb Chaim Dov Halperin zt”l, Rav of the Vassloi Chassidim in Bnei Brak and Rosh HaKibbutz of Yeshivas Bohush, who passed away at the young age of 47 following a difficult six-year illness.
Born in Bnei Brak on 26 Adar 5739, Rabbi Chaim Dov was the son of the Vassloi Rebbe, Rabbi Avraham Shimshon Shalom Halperin shlita, and was named after his grandfather, the holy Rabbi Chaim Dov of Vassloi zt”l.
He learned in Yeshivas Bohush, later continued in Yeshivas Noam HaTorah under HaRav Moshe Menachem Shafran shlita, and then studied in the Brisk Yeshiva in Yerushalayim under HaRav Avrohom Yehoshua Soloveitchik shlita.
He was renowned as an exceptional talmid chacham with extraordinary brilliance, dedicating every moment of his life to Torah.
After his marriage to his wife, Mrs. Gittel, daughter of his uncle, the Bohush Rebbe shlita, they established a home built upon Torah and Chassidus in Bnei Brak.
He later served as Rosh HaKibbutz of Yeshivas Bohush and as the Rav of the Vassloi Chassidim in the city.
Less than a month ago, despite his immense suffering and physical weakness, he attended the wedding of his son, rejoicing with tremendous strength and simcha during the family’s great celebration.
The levayah will take place today before sunset and proceed to the Nachlas Yitzchak Cemetery in Givatayim.
