<p><span style="font-size: large; font-family: times new roman, times;">A granddaughter was born to Rabbi Mordechai Sternberg, ZT'L, the Rosh HaYeshiva Yehsuivat Har Hamor, who was niftar yesterday at the age of 74, on the day of his funeral Tuesday.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: large; font-family: times new roman, times;">The child was born to Ephraim and Emuna Shachor, Rabbi's Sternberg's son-in-law and daughter.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: large; font-family: times new roman, times;">During the levayah, Rabbi Avichai Sternberg, son of Rabbi Mordechai Sternberg, gave a eulogy: "There is no substitute for a father. We were lucky to have a father and more than that – we are lucky to have a father. He was a father who was so present in the lives of his children, a grandfather who was present in the lives of his grandchildren – and that presence was not only expressed in the practical contexts – but in a personality that was present and found in each of the children and grandchildren. We were part of our father – and he is present in us. Father was so great and yet so humble. The renewal of the Torah of the Land of Israel was embodied and fulfilled in him."</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: large; font-family: times new roman, times;">Israel's chief rabbi, Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, was the first to eulogize Rabbi Sternberg: "When a great man passes away, there are two things that happen: the public has lost a leader, and the Shekina [presence of G-d] experiences sorrow."</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: large; font-family: times new roman, times;">"Although he was great in Torah and was knowledgeable in all of the Talmud," Rabbi Yosef said, he "did not only care about himself."</span></p>
