  • Elder of Ziyon
Here is the yearbook picture of Natie Finkel, who graduated from the Ida Crown Jewish Academy in Chicago in 1960.

He became a rabbi, Nosson Tzvi Finkel, and grew to become the head of the Mir Yeshiva in Jerusalem where he built it into the largest yeshiva in Israel, with over 6000 students, over the past 21 years.

He passed away this week of a heart attack after a long fight with Parkinson's. 

100,000 people attended his funeral. 

Not bad for a kid from Chicago who didn't know what he would be doing after high school.

Elder of Ziyon - حـكـيـم صـهـيـون



This blog may be a labor of love for me, but it takes a lot of effort, time and money. For 20 years and 40,000 articles I have been providing accurate, original news that would have remained unnoticed. I've written hundreds of scoops and sometimes my reporting ends up making a real difference. I appreciate any donations you can give to keep this blog going.
