YWN regrets to inform our readers of two tragedies which struck the Lakewood community on Erev Purim 5774.
The first tragedy is the sudden Petira of 9-year-old Eliyahu Eliezer Raitzik Z”L, son of Reb Shabsi. Hatzolah rushed to the boy’s home around 7:30 AM Friday morning when he failed to wake up. Resuscitation efforts by Hatzolah Paramedics were unfortunately unsuccessful.
He was 4th grade student in Yeshivah Bais Aharon.
The Levaya will be taking place at 3:30 PM this afternoon at the Bais Medrash Hayashon BMG. The Kevurah will take place in Lakewood.
The other tragedy is the Petira of 38-year-old Reb Shloime Zalman Rosengarten Z”L who was Niftar this morning after suffering a cardiac arrest earlier this week. He was resuscitated by Hatzolah, and taken to a hospital. Tragically, he never recovered, and was Niftar this morning.
He leaves behind a wife and several children.
The Levaya will be taking place at BMG at 2 PM. Kevurah will be in Eretz Yisroel.
