Baruch Dayan Hoemes – R. Berel Kievman OBM

It is with immense sorrow we that we were informed of the passing of the venerable Chossid and Tomim Harav Shalom Dov Ber Kievman, z“l , a resident of Kfar Chabad. He passed away this passed Sunday, Chof Nissan.

Reb Berel Kievman was the son of the HaRav HaChossid R. Dovid Harodoker, zt”l, a renowned Chossid of the Rebbe Rashab, zy”a who it was said on him that he was a ‘Beinoni’. Reb Berel was known as a genius well versed in both ‘Nigleh’ and Chassidus. Those who spoke with him immediately were baffled by his phenomenal memory and brilliance. He was a walking encyclopedia.

Rabbi Berel passed away on Sunday morning and was survived by his daughter Mrs. Batya Ruderman of New York. He leaves many great grandchildren, Chasidim of the Rebbe. His Levaya was in Kfar Chabad this past Sunday and he was laid to rest on Har Hazeisim in Jerusalem.
