Yosef Shalom Elyashiv ((ヘブライ語:יוֹסֵף שָׁלוֹם אֶלְיָשִׁיב); April 10, 1910 – July 18, 2012) was a Haredi rabbi and ''posek'' (arbiter of Jewish law) who lived in Jerusalem, Israel. Until his death at the age of 102, Elyashiv was the paramount leader of both Israel and the Diaspora Lithuanian-Haredi community, and many Ashkenazi Jews regarded him as the ''posek ha-dor'', the contemporary leading authority on halakha, or Jewish law.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=RABBI YOSEF SHALOM ELYASHIV )〕 He spent most of his days engaged in Talmudical study, and delivered lectures in Talmud and Shulkhan Arukh at a local synagogue in the Meah Shearim area in Jerusalem where he lived. He received supplicants from all over the world and answered the most complex Halakhic inquiries.〔 ==Biography== Elyashiv was the son of Rabbi Avraham Elyashiv (Erener) of Gomel, Belarus, and Chaya Musha, daughter of the kabbalist Rabbi Shlomo Elyashiv (d. 1925) of Šiauliai, Lithuania. Born in 1910 at Šiauliai, Elyashiv arrived with his parents in Mandatory Palestine in 1922 aged 12. He was an only child, born to his parents after 17 years of marriage.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Harav Yosef Shalom Elyashiv shlit"a )〕 Originally his father's surname was Erener, but his father adopted his father-in-law's surname in order to gain a certificate to enter the British Mandate of Palestine. At the suggestion of Chief Rabbi of Palestine, Abraham Isaac Kook, Elyashiv married Sheina Chaya (d. June 19, 1994), a daughter of Rabbi Aryeh Levin.〔 The couple had five sons and seven daughters. Six of their daughters married significant rabbinic figures. One son died of illness as a child, and one daughter was killed in 1948 by Jordanian shelling.〔 In February 2012 the 101-year-old rabbi was admitted into the cardiac intensive care unit of the Jesselson Heart Center at the Shaare Zedek Medical Center under the supervision of cardiology branch head Dan Tzivoni and his personal physician. He was admitted due to an acute condition of edema of the lungs and congestion in the heart. He died on July 18, 2012, and was buried on Har HaMenuchot after a late-night funeral procession that attracted an estimated 250,000 people. At the time of his death, he had nearly 1,000 descendants. In 2009 he saw the beginning of a sixth generation, as a grandson was born to one of his great-grandchildren.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yosef Shalom Eliashiv」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
