HaGaon Rav Yitzchak Sheiner zt”l, Rosh Yeshiva of Kaminetz, Jerusalem, was niftar at the age of 98. Rav Scheiner, who was born in the USA, was married to a granddaughter of the famed Rav Boruch Ber Lebowitz of Kaminetz.

The renowned author and psychiatrist, Rabbi Abraham J Twerski zt”l was niftar at the age of 90. For decades he had brought hope and healing to thousands across the globe through his dozens of books and lectures, as well as being an expert on addiction recovery.
