Baruch Dayan the truth: The late Rabbi Elazar Shmuel Steinmetz of Flatbush, passed away after a very serious illness from which he suffered for a long time.

Rabbi Elazar Shmuel encompassed all three pillars of Parki Avot, Torah Avoda and Gamilat Chesadim. He set times for the Torah, he was a moralist who kept a daily page for a long time, and he was always ready to enlighten his friends and those around him with kind words, his worship of God was something to learn from him, his prayers in the Beit Midrash set an example for others, his joy in life was obvious to everyone he knew The same, every day and especially on Shabbat.
Rabbi Elazar Shmuel had great kindness, he helped many people in need without them knowing that he was behind it, he was a true peace seeker like Aharon HaCohen, someone who always had a smile on his face and filled the room with joy.
The funeral of the late Rabbi Haim Elazar son of Rabbi Shimshon Aryeh in Tel Aviv will be held today (Sunday) at 11:00 local time at the Platbush religious observatory, and the burial will be in Eretz Yisrael.
