Please…be careful in everything. Drivers: don’t use a cell phone while driving. Parents: watch your kids, especially in the pool area. The summer, supposedly a happy, relaxed time, seems to be so much worse for accidents. It’s bad enough when someone passes away peacefully after 120 years, but these accidents?!
I beg of you…put us out of business! May G-d keep everyone safe.
Please be careful
Hashem should give nechama to the family. With the nine days coming…PEOPLE BE CAREFUL TO TAKE EVERY PRECAUTION!!!

This bochur’s mother is my wife’s first cousin. The Ecksteins are a very eidel family; the father, Itzy, works at IDT where several Lubavitchers know him and they’ll all tell you the same thing: he’s a mentch and mamish a nice guy. It’s such a tragedy that he loses his son in such a horrible way.
reminder
reminder: we are now in the 3 weeks and approching the 9 days, everyone should take those few extra minutes to make sure that they and their families are safe!

I hope this is the last accident until moshiach comes
Amazing
It happens every year. We all know about it. We see the results and still it happens every year.
A very expensive lesson for our teen drivers and some adults also to learn.
IF YOU ARE TIRED AND SLEEPY STAY OFF THE ROAD!
