    We, the Heller family, are davening from the depths of our hearts for the wellbeing and safety of Rabbi Zev Segal. May all his many z’chuyot and those of the entire wonderful Segal family be a seal of protection for him until we merit his safe return home.

  • Yosef

    Just a small correction, his name is Rabbi Zev Segal. He is a Choshuver Rav for many years and he was part of the Hanhala Gashmis of the Lubavitcher Yeshiva in Newark (forerunner of Morristown) some 45-50 years ago when Reb Zelig Katzman A“H and Reb Leibel Raskin A”H were the Hanhala there.

    May the Zechus stand by him.

    Why don’t they just get the police to use their high-tech equipment to triangulate the location of the cell phone? That should lead us right to the car (if the cell phone is in the car, that is). This should have been done hours ago (maybe it was and somehow didn’t work). anyways, my two cents, for whatever it’s worth.
