It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the petirah of Rav Binyomin Tzvi Kaplan zt”l. He was 68.
Rav Kaplan was a son of Rav Nosson Kaplan, author of Toras Nosson and Neizer Hakodesh, and Mrs. Chana Kaplan, née Gelernter.
He was a grandson of the famed Rav Yisroel Chaim Kaplan, rosh yeshivas Toras Chesed in Brisk and mashgiach of Bais Medrash Elyon in Monsey and son-in-law of Rav Yerucham Levovitz.
Rav Kaplan was a talmid muvhak of his rabbeim at Bais Medrash Govoah in Lakewood, most prominently the mashgiach, Rav Nosson Meir Wachtfogel, and the rosh yeshiva, Rav Shneur Kotler.
Rav Kaplan, who resided for many years in Monsey, was a highly esteemed talmid chochom, who possessed beautiful middos tovos and sterling character. Torah was the delight of his life.
He raised his mishpacha to follow in his derech of Torah and avodas Hashem, and always demonstrated genuine care and ahavas Yisroel for others.
Rav Kaplan is survived by his wonderful mishpacha of bnei and bnos Torah.
The levayah was held at the Shamgar Funeral Home in Yerushalayim, followed by kevurah on Har Hazeisim.
Yehi zichro boruch.
