Rabbi Menachem Mendel Froush, a prominent rabbi and a leader of the Adat Yerushalayim 'Ha'Matmidim' community in Modi'in Illit, has passed away at the age of 71. He died at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem after a recent hospitalization in serious condition, during which many prayers were offered for his recovery.
Rabbi Froush was known as a rabbi for the 'Ha'Matmidim' synagogues in Modi'in Illit and was considered a leading figure among the Biala Hasidic dynasty. His mother was Miriam Froush, daughter of Rabbi Eliezer David Brand.
His father was close to the Rebbes of Biala and Gur, and Rabbi Froush himself, in his youth, became a disciple of Rabbi Leibel Mintzberg, the rabbi of the Adat Yerushalayim 'Ha'Matmidim' community and author of 'Ben Melech.' He married the daughter of Rabbi Meir David Halperin.
As the Adat Yerushalayim 'Ha'Matmidim' communities grew, Rabbi Froush was appointed as the rabbi for the communities in the Brekfeld and Green Park neighborhoods of Modi'in Illit. He also lectured at the 'Ha'Matmidim' yeshiva and other institutions and was close to the Rebbe of Biala.
Rabbi Froush is survived by his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
