Since 2003, Weiss served as head Edah Haredit, an umbrella organization of a number of isolationist, anti-Zionist haredi groups.

On Sunday, Weiss was laid to rest on the Mount of Olives.

Jerusalem District Police forces secured the funeral procession and helped direct traffic. Because major Jerusalem traffic arteries were shut down, drivers were advised to stay away from the route of the procession.
