Dying to Learn Torah – Bechukosai
Rav Yosef Shlomo Horowitz was an older survivor of the Holocaust who had learned in prewar Europe. He had no surviving family and spent all his time learning in Ponovitz in Bnei Brak. He always learned day and night standing at a Shtender. One day he did not show up in the yeshiva and one of the Bachurim immediately sent for a doctor to go to his house and check on him. The doctor arrived and found him at home in a weakened state, with only a few hours to live.
Immediately Rav Yechezkel Levenstein, the Mashgiach, was summoned to visit him. To the utter disbelief of the Mashgiach he found Reb Yosef sitting at a chair and learning Torah. Rav Yechezkel remarked,
“Reb Yosef, no one knows when he will take his last breath. Perhaps it would be best that you lie down!”
“Don’t worry. I have a few moments left and I can still “Chap Arein” a Blatt Gemoro.
After that I will retire so as not to fall from the chair!” replied Reb Yosef.
This all took place at 8:00p.m. At 1:00 a.m. he retired to bed, said Shema Yisroel and returned his soul to his Creator.
Shabbat Shalom, R’ Moshe Cohen
