    BDE. So so sad May the good Lord comfort his dear wife and beautiful children. There’s no more words to describe how painful to hear this news.

    ברוך דיין האמת- המקום ינחם אתכם בתוך שאר אבלי ציון וירושלים – Baruch Dayan HaEmes – Blessed is the True Judge. Hamakom yenachem eschem b’soch sha’ar aveilei Tzion v’Yerushalayim! May his memory be for a blessing and his family be comforted among the other mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.

    He was an example to all of us. He will be truly missed. His light shines on in the lives of all the people that he came in contact with.

    May this be the final death in our galus and lead us to Moshiach now!

    BDE. He was a mensch of the highest order, and the past 10 months, he and his wife Sarah have been the strongest foundation of faith. May his neshama have an Aliya and may his memory always be a blessing. To Sarah and their 6 beautiful babies…you are so loved!

    BDE. What a tragedy. My heart goes out to his wife and children and his parents and siblings. You should all only know from Simchas.

    Yudi tried to stretch my
    sons chuvrusa schedule
    to its fullest extent. I
    pray he may be rewarded
    for his devotion and kindness.
