koA few short hours after the petira of HaRav HaGaon Rav Yaakov Kochav ZT�L, his seventh son was born. The child came into the world hours following his petira and a few hours before his father�s levaya, which began on Wednesday, 6 Adar-II at 14:00.

Rav Kochav who was Rosh Kollel “Maale Adumim” in Kiryat Sefer was niftar during the night at the age of 31 as a result of the difficult illness he was battling.

The levaya will begin at his father-in-law�s home 11 Kehillas Yaakov Street in Bnei Brak.

    Yeshivaworld editor: Was his name Rav Yaakov Kochav or Rav Gross? The article is very unclear.
