The Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Israel, Rabbi David Lau, eulogized senior religious Zionist leader Rabbi Chaim Druckman, who passed away on Sunday evening at the age of 90, after several weeks in which the rabbi had been hospitalized in serious condition.
"Together with the entire people of Israel, I am saddened by the passing of Rabbi Chaim Druckman, the great man, who in 90 years of life, taught, educated and brought Jews closer to faith in God," said Rabbi Lau.
Rabbi Lau added, "Out of the great love of the Torah, he loved every person from Israel, every morsel of the land of Israel, and every letter of the Torah of Israel, and he educated and raised generations who will continue to learn, and will continue to see the great light, shining before their eyes."
