Rav Aryeh Aharon Yarom zt”l, a distinguished longtime talmid of Yeshivas Mir Yerushalayim and a resident of the Har Nof neighborhood, passed away on Shabbos morning at Maayanei Hayeshua Medical Center in Bnei Brak. He was 78.

Rav Yarom was born on 27 Elul 5707 to his father, Rav Yosef Yarom, and his mother, Tzipora. From a young age, he was devoted to Torah learning. In his youth, he studied at Yeshivas HaNegev in Netivot, where he was a talmid of the rosh yeshiva, Rav Yissachar Meir zt”l, from whom he absorbed his derech halimud.

Upon reaching marriage age, he married the daughter of Rav Yom Tov Chaim HaKohen Friedman. Together they established their home in Yerushalayim’s Har Nof neighborhood.

Following his marriage, Rav Yarom entered the beis medrash of Yeshivas Mir in Yerushalayim, where he remained immersed in Torah learning for more than five decades. He was counted among the senior avreichim of the yeshiva, known for his consistency and dedication to Torah and avodah.

For decades, Rav Yarom was meticulous to be among the first ten men at every tefillah in his shul, a practice he maintained with remarkable persistence.

He is survived by a large and distinguished family. His sons are Rav Avraham Yitzchak Yarom; Rav Nosson Tzvi Yarom, chairman of Machon Mishnas HaChafetz Chaim; Rav Yehoshua Chananel Yarom; and Rav Moshe Yarom. His sons-in-law include Rav Aharon Malach of Beit Vagan, Rav Betzalel Mendelson of Modiin Illit, and Rav Yitzchak Aryeh Deutsch of Yesodos. He also leaves behind many grandchildren.

The levayah took place on Motzoei Shabbos at the Shamgar funeral home in Yerushalayim, with kevurah on Har HaMenuchos.

Yehi zichro boruch.
