How to get there

Zichron Meir cemetery, Bnei Brak, Israel

The exact grave coordinates are not confirmed yet — go by the address and ask locally. We don't publish a coordinate we haven't checked.

1.Resting place of Rabbi Avraham Yeshaya Karelitz, the Chazon Ish, whose halachic authority shaped Torah life in Eretz Yisrael.
2.In the Zichron Meir cemetery in Bnei Brak; confirm the exact location and access locally.
3.Bnei Brak has more than one charedi bais hachaim, they are close together on and around Rechov Chazon Ish, and the gedolim are NOT all in the same one. Zichron Meir and Ponevezh sit side by side; the Steipler is in Shomrei Shabbos, which is a different ground again. Somebody who comes for the Chazon Ish and expects to walk a few metres to the Steipler will not find him there. Ask which cemetery before you set out, for each kever you are coming for.
