לז"נ ר' אברהם אשי בן הרב
שמואל הי"ד
יום השנה - ט"ו בטבת
מי ישום אלם או חרש או פקח או עור הלא אנכי ה'
On הר המנוחות close to the
Kever of the Belzer Rebbe zt"l there is the Kever of a
Ba'al Habayis* Reb Eliezer Yosef Lederberg zt"l.
On his מצבה it is
inscribed that he was Marbitz Torah B'rabim.
He learned and Chazered
מס' ביצה & מס' ראש השנה over 4,000 times.
The story :
R. Eliezer Yosef was
diagnosed with an eye disease that required
surgery. He was
told there is a chance the surgery won't be successful and he will go
blind. He managed to postpone the
surgery for six
months. During that time he learned repeatedly
two Mesechtos by heart so if
he goes blind he will able to learn
on his own.
After the successful
surgery and not going blind, he thought
to himself, since he had in
mind to learn these Mesechtos
for the rest of his life,
there is no reason not to do so because
he didn't go blind. On the
contrary, the more reason to thank
Hashem by learning and
Chazering again & again.
R. Eliezer Yosef wrote in his
צוואה that it might be worthed
to mention this on his מצבה
so others might get חיזוק
to learn and Chazer multiple
times.
*He had a stationery
store in Yerushalayim.
