Mourners flood Jerusalem streets for rabbi’s funeral
Thousands of black-clad ultra-Orthodox men fill the streets of Jerusalem for the funeral of Rabbi Aryeh Finkel, the head of the Mir Brachfeld yeshiva in Modiin Illit.
Finkel died last night at the age of 85.
The funeral procession began at his yeshiva in Modiin Illit, before moving to the Mir Yeshiva in Jerusalem and ending at Har Hamenuhot cemetery in the capital.
