An eighth-grader in the Chabad school in Nachlat Har Chabad, the Chabad neighborhood in Kiryat Malachi, Israel, Shalom Dov Ber Lipsh was doing what he loved to do on Friday afternoons: helping Jewish men and boys to put on tefillin. On his way home, he was hit by a car and killed on the spot. The driver has been taken in for questioning.
“The first day of the month of Menachem Av, right before Shabbos, has become a day of mourning and tragedy,” said Eliyahu Zohar, mayor of Kiryat Malachi. “We all share the deep pain of the family on the loss of their son, the tzaddik, who was participating in the tefillin campaign in area stores. We embrace the family in these difficult times and are ready to assist them in every way.”
The levayah will take place after Shabbos.
