Correct spelling for son-in-law is R’ Leiby Zeilberger (a son of Rav Binyomin Zeilberger).

Rav Weiss influence went well beyond Lakewood. He was a survivor, who knew G-d, even in the midst of destruction. His books are masterpieces Meant for those of us Jews (and non Jews) to better connect to G-d.. I am deeply saddened by his passing. I barely knew the man but loved him so. G-d Bless.

BDE! This is very sad news! I’ve heard many amazing things about Rav Gershon Weiss. His son is the assistant principal at my son’s Yeshivah and is an unbelievable person and so soft spoken! May his family be comforted!
