And beloved rabbi and teacher of Rabbi Yonatan Halevy, may he live and be well.
We offer our heartfelt condolences to the Shamoula family, as well as to the extended family of SSC rabbis around the globe.
Rabbi Shamoula zt"l stood at the helm of the Yeshiva for nearly 30 years, alongside - may they live and be well - Rabbi Yaakov Peretz shlit"a, Rabbi Shlomo Kassin shlit"a and Rabbi Yosef Shushan shlit"a.

May they be comforted from Heaven.
The funeral took place on Friday morning in the Sephardic section of Har HaMenuchot.
בִּלַּע הַמָּוֶת לָנֶצַח וּמָחָה ה' אלוקים דִּמְעָה מֵעַל כָּל פָּנִים וְחֶרְפַּת עַמּוֹ יָסִיר מֵעַל כָּל הָאָרֶץ כִּי ה' דִּבֵּר
He will swallow up death for ever; and Hashem Elokim will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the reproach of His people will He take away from off all the earth; for Hashem has spoken it.
Amen,
Rabbi Yonatan, Rabbanit Devorah
and the entire Kehillat Shaar HaShamayim family
