Boruch Dayan Hoemes: Eli Gradon, 11, OBM

With great sadness and a heavy heart, we inform you of the untimely passing of a young boy who inspired tens of thousands to say Tehilim and do good deeds on his behalf, Eli (Elimelech ben Menachem Mendel Malkiel) Gradon of Los Angeles, CA. He was 11 years old.

Eli has spent the last few years battling an aggressive form of cancer, which tragically took his life this morning.

Tens of thousands of people said Tehillim and did good deeds on his behalf, and followed his condition closely on social media.

The Levaya will take place on Friday morning, 9:00am (PST) at Cong. Sharei Tefila – 7269 Beverly Blvd. in Los Angeles, CA. The Levaya can be viewed live here.

    its PDT (Pacific Daylight Time) not PST (Pacific Standard Time) PST is when the clock is changed after Sukkos 2 Winter time, now that its still Daylight Savings Time, the correct term is PDT, which is for Daylight Savings Time, same thing with EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) is now when we are still on Summer time, but the most simple way is writing PT (Pacific Time) MT (Mountain Time) which is 2 hrs behind Bklyn & CT (Central Time) which is 1 hour behind ET, thank u, L.A. is 3 hrs behind Bklyn, so when its 12 pm in Bklyn its 9 am in L.A.
