Death
Rabbi Ruderman's death on July 11, 1987, the 14th of Tammuz, followed less than 18 months after the death of Rabbi Yaakov Kaminetsky and Rabbi Moshe Feinstein. Rabbi Ruderman was one of the last surviving Roshei Yeshiva (yeshiva heads) who came to America from Lithuania early in the 20th century.
His son-in-law, Rabbi Yaakov Weinberg, who married his only child, Chana, succeeded him as rosh yeshiva of Ner Yisroel.
