The Satmar community continues to mourn the tragic passing of Reb Yitzchok Rosenberg z”l and Reb Chaim Parnes z”l, two pillars of the community who were noted baalei chesed and baalei tzedakah.
Reb Yitzchok and Reb Chaim perished after being drawn into the ocean by strong rip currents yesterday morning off the coast of Florida.
Askanim labored ceaselessly to have the bodies released by the Miami-Dade Medical Examiner’s office. They were flown today via private jet to New York.
