Obituary: Rabbi Shimon Elituv, 86, Senior Member of Israeli Chief Rabbinate

Standing in the ancient home of Maimonides in the old Jewish quarter of Cairo in 1985, a group of rabbis had come from around the world to mark the first completion of the worldwide annual study of Mishneh Torah. The spokesman of the group, handpicked by the Rebbe was Rabbi Shimon Elituv, whose flowing Arabic was often broadcast on radio and television across the Arab world. Elituv passed away on Wednesday, Jan. 25 (3 Shevat), in Israel. He was 86 years old.
