Boruch Dayan Hoemes – Rabbi Levi Deitsch OBM

With great sadness and deep pain we inform you of the tragic and very untimely passing of Rabbi Levi Deitsch OBM, a Shliach to Tysons Corner, Virginia. He was 34 years old.

Levi moved out on Shlichus with his family in 2002 where he established a flourishing Chabad center, along with a Hebrew School and a Tzivos Hashem.

Leaving his office building at lunchtime; a young businessman would pass the stand of a little old Jewish lady who sold pretzels on a street corner for 25 cents each. He would always leave her a quarter but never take a pretzel. The two of them never spoke.

One day, after 3 years of this routine, the young man passed the old lady's stand and left his usual quarter; the pretzel lady spoke to him for the first time.

“Sir, you are a good customer and I appreciate your business, but I have to tell you that the price of pretzels has gone up to 50 cents!!!”
