Rabbi Yeshaya Krishevsky, a Pinsk-Karlin Chossid and known Torah scholar, was murdered in a terror attack on Tuesday in Jerusalem.
He was 59.
Rabbi Krishevsky was killed while walking on Malkhei Yisrael Street in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Geula, when a terrorist drove a car into a bus stop, hitting him and one other victim. The terrorist then got out of the vehicle and stabbed both victims repeatedly.
Rabbi Krishevsky was a prominent chosid of Pinsk-Karlin, known for his Torah learning and for his yiras shomayim. He was also close to the Rachmastrivka Rebbe.
Rabbi Krishevsky was the author of the Peninei Yehoshua series, a collection of commentaries on the weekly Torah portion used in many Yeshivos.
He is survived by one son, Zalman Krishevsky, a Lubavitcher who lives in Bnei Brak, Israel.
The funeral took place at Pinsk-Karlin Beth Israel in Jerusalem on Tuesday.

Nobody said it matters. it is not a good to look for something negative in everything you see
Its natural for people to feel a deeper connection to their own. As a Lubavitcher, I felt the connection to the Rabbi more intently. He seems like the epitome of a man the Rebbe always spoke about to model after. great man, very inspiring, even from the sadness.
So sad a true tzadik was murdered. And the writer could ulogize anyway he or she see’s befitting to the deceased. Whether he is a father of a Lubavitch man or a modern or charedie man. This is the problem. We have to like each other, stick together because we are in this together. Be thankful it was not your family. Honor this man’s memory and stop squabbling on the Internet.
BDE’ to the family and friends of this holy man.
No 15 You are perfectly right ! No time for squabbles now!
We have a serious situation here and we’ve got to get “out of here”…this dark and horrific Golus… Yes, and our enemies should go to he** and us YIDDEN ” אורה ושמחה וששון ויקר FOREVER!!!
Until we stop judging a person’s worth by their kipa, this situation will only get worse. The security situation, that is.
The title. Not the name. There is no “name” field on this comment form. So I don’t put my name on my comments. Chana R. If the fact that his son is a Chabadnik wasn’t so important, it shouldn’t be in the headline – it should just be in the article itself, where it mentions that his son survives him. I And maybe you can stop calling me names – because you know what? Last week my friend and her husband were murdered in cold blood by a terrorist, leaving four orphans. Her two youngest are the same ages as… Read more »
Did not say that the man was not a labavitcher. chosid. does it really matter, everyday more yidden are getting killed in eretz isreal.
The Rebbe told us to love every yid regardless if he is Chabad , I agree with numer 1 , why do we always have to be so divisive
Jews are being butchered R”L. Can we just calm down and stop bickering over how the terrible news should be given over?!!!!!! please, let’s use our time and energy to daven, to think of “What I personally can do better”.
A great Torah scholar was brutely murdered and it’s more important how the article was written than mourning for him! Come on, let’s give everyone the benefit of the doubt and focus on bringing Moshiach with achdus.
Read the article it says; a well known torah scholar who’s son is a lubabvitcher if it this about the lubabvitch angle it should have said he was murdered and he is survived by his son who happens to be a lubabvitch chossid. Sickening!

Don’t do this. It’s not worth it to dig the worst out of what you read. We are all concerned about Israel and everyone in it.
Your kidding right, it seems like you wrote that comment just tomake people cringe at your stupidity, their is nothing wrong to describe the victim. His greatness and his achievements and who his son is…
Calm down… The thrust of the article is NOT about his son.
However, as this is a Lubavitcher site it seems only appropriate to mention the fact that his son is a Lubavitcher. In fact it would be strange if it was not mentioned. After all, there are probably many readers who know his son.
The article should have just said: “Jew murdered by Arab,” right?
No. We came here to hear about the man who was killed so he can be remembered by his achievements
Without minimizing any other factors, it is appropriate for COL to highlight a Lubavitch angle
Protocol states that one does not only talk about the loss, but also about the person. Klal yisrael didn’t merely lose another korban with this man, but a great man was brutally smashed to death. The Jewish world lost a man a great Torah knowledge, of incredible yiras shomayim, a magnificent teacher, and a role model to thousands. Your criticism is totally out of place
this is a site for lubavitch news
therefor it is natural that the site would write this
Only because a Jew
those terrorists will suffer in he**
is that his son is a Chabad chassid. Right?
That is definitely ALL that matters. The MOST important detail about him.
I don’t know if he was a “known Torah scholar” or a great tzaddik.
And it really doesn’t matter.
He’s a Jewish victim of Arab terror.
THAT is all that matters. He’s a Jew. And he was mudered. By an Arab terrorist.
Period. End of story.
The rest doesn’t matter.
