Thousands of people from Lakewood and around the world are expected to visit the kever of the Tosfos Yom Tov in Krakow, Poland, tonight and Wednesday, marking his 372nd Yahrtzeit.

The Tosfos Yom Tov, Rav Yom Tov Lipman Heller, is remembered as one of the greatest Torah leaders of his generation and is best known for his renowned commentary on Mishnayos, the Tosfos Yom Tov.

He is also famously known for the Mi Shebeirach he composed, which showers many Brachos upon those who refrain from speaking during davening.

A large Seudah event by “Stop The Talking” will be taking place tonight in New York, focusing on the importance of avoiding talking during davening and strengthening the kedushah of the shul. You can watch it live here. 

The song below – released by TLS in 2016 – was composed in honor of the Tosfos Yom Tov’s Yahrtzeit. Written and composed by Motty Illowitz; Soloist: Shauly Waldner; Choir: Mezamrim; Arranger: Ruli Ezrahi.
