"You are a korban tzibbur, and your essence was Torah and avodas Hashem. May Hashem help that there should be no more death, and may He wipe the tears off every face”
A
large crowd of Gerrer chassidim attended the levayah of Reb Pinchas Menachem Pzevozman Hy”d, who was killed by a missile strike in the Rova Vav section of Ashdod on Sunday evening. He left behind a wife and one-year-old son.
Reb Pinchas Menachem, 21, was killed when he ran to take cover from a missile launch, in the process shielding a passing woman with his body. He died from shrapnel wounds.
This is the third tragedy in his family, after his uncle was killed in an attack near Har Meron seven years ago, and another uncle drowned in the Yarden while he was a bochur, along with three other Gerrer bochurim in 1988.
Reb Pinchas Menachem was an avreich in the Gerrer community in Ashdod. His father, Rav Chaim Dov, is a dayan in Beit Shemesh, and his father-in-law is Rav Yitzchak Broiner of Ashdod.
