Rabbi Zvi Koshlevsky, who became a father for the first time at the age of 88/Gershon Rose
Rabbi Zvi Koshlevsky, a well-known Rosh Yeshiva in Jerusalem, was informed this morning (Sunday) of the birth of his first son at the age of 88. His wife from his second marriage, aged about 56, gave birth today at the Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem.
"Since the time of Abraham our father, there has not been such a historic birth."
Rabbi Koshlavsky arrived this morning, as usual, to study Torah at the Mossad in the Har-Nof neighborhood in Jerusalem, of which he is the head.
Only this time, he was received with great singing and dancing by his students.
At the age of 88, the sales rabbi had his first child.
The ultra-Orthodox media reported the news under the title "History and great excitement in the Torah world".
Six years ago, after he was widowed from his first wife, the rabbi remarried, at that time Koshlevsky was 82 years old and his wife was 50. The wedding was held only about a week after the decision on the "match".
During his two marriages, Rabbi Koshlevsky has yet to have children.
Today, at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem, his first son was born.
On the ultra-Orthodox website Haderi Haredim, which covered the sensational news in detail, it is written that "Some will say that since the time of Abraham our father, who blessed his son Yitzchak at the age of 100, there has not been such a historic birth," and added, "When his eldest son becomes a bar mitzvah, the head of the yeshiva will celebrate the age of 101 without the evil eye ".
