9/11 Survivor Passes Away 21 Years After His High-Level Shemiras Einayim Saved His Life

Rav Meilich Biderman related that story of R’ Shmuel Katz z”l, who passed away this past week 21 years after he was saved on 9/11.

R’ Shmuel worked on the 85^th floor of the World Trade Center. He requested from his boss to be allowed to come to work two hours later and leave two hours later in order to avoid the pritzus and immodesty of rush hour on the NYC subway. He was granted this request.

As a result of his daily delayed schedule, on September 11, 2001, R’ Shmuel was not yet at work when the planes hit the Twin Towers.

He was saved thanks to his adherence to a high level of shemiras einayim and kedusha.

Now, 21 years after the catastrophe from which he was spared, R’ Shmuel has passed on, with a special zechus to his credit, a 9/11 story that will be repeated by his descendants for generations.
