Rabbi Tzvi Kushlefsky, a rosh yeshiva in Yerushalayim, had a firstborn son this morning at the age of 88 years old.

Rabbi Kushlefsky became a widower at the age of 82, not meriting children with his first wife. Six years ago, he remarried an American woman, Mrs. Rochel Daniella, who was 50 years old and a mother to several children.

This morning, Rabbi Kushelefsky, at the age of 88, and his rebbetzin, in her mid-50s, celebrated the birth of their firstborn son. The birth took place at Hadassah Medical Center in Yerushalayim, and the baby was born healthy, with no complications, boruch Hashem.

Dancing broke out in the streets of Yerushalayim around his yeshivos.

When his son celebrates his bar mitzvah, be’ezras Hashem, the rosh yeshiva will be 101 years old.
