"I do not know how to eulogize since he was such a great man I cannot appropriately eulogize since he was great in Torah and Avodah and Chochma and Yirah and all that is said of him is but very little of his good deeds … our leader has been taken, leader in Torah, leader in wisdom, leader in G-d fearingness Tzaddik of the generation, Gedol HaDor … And this Tzaddik all know that for many years he studied Torah and worked with his holy prayers and when he was not studying he was occupied with all the other things mentioned in the Mishnah charity, and bringing peace between a man and his friends and for such a Tzaddik one must weep".
[1] leaf, official statinery, 23 cm. The manuscript was written with pencil and pen. Possibly, the leaf before us contains only part of a longer eulogy.
