Baruch Dayan the Truth: Rabbi Eliyahu Abba Saul died suddenly

Rabbi Eliyahu Abba Shaul, head of the Yeshiva of Or Zion in Jerusalem, passed away suddenly today. Rabbi Abba Shaul was 70 when he died. He is the only son of Rabbi Ben Zion Abba Shaul, the head of the Porat Yosef Yeshiva.

A few hours ago, he was reported to have collapsed at his home. Emergency responders who were called to the scene performed CPR for an hour, but eventually had to determine his death.

After his marriage, he served as Chief of Staff at the Yeshiva of Porat Yosef. He was later appointed Rabbi of Kiryat Itari in Jerusalem. At the same time, he served as head of a kibbutz in the Yeshiva of Jerusalem.

In the first decade of the 21st century, he founded the Yeshivat “Or Zion”, named after his father, Rabbi Ben Zion, Father Shaul. The Yeshiva is located in the Givat Moshe neighbourhood and will have 280 members by 2020.

He also headed the Or Zion Institute for the publishing of his father’s books and was a member of the Rabbinical Committee of the Torah Essay contest of the Haredi sector.
