[COMMUNICATED]
The Weiss couple had been married for 3 years before their son was born to them. They celebrated the long-awaited bris with family and friends in Bnei Brak.
When Yisroel was 5 months old, he was found without a pulse in his crib, most likely a victim of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). His parents were still in the middle of sitting shivah for their son, when Yitzchok Meir felt unwell. He collapsed, and attempts made to revive him were unsuccessful.
His widow is now bereft of her son, and of her husband.
In an inspiring and surprising turn of events, Mrs. Weiss, who might be expected to be paralyzed with grief, has made a special request of the Jewish people instead: To perform acts of charity and kindness in memory of her husband and son.
The Weiss family has partnered with Ezras Yisroel to make the widow’s request a reality, with the warm encouragement of rabbanim and Gedolei Yisroel.

very encouraging to hear. I was there yesterday to menachem avel and being that mrs weiss is so so heartbroken they don’t allow anyone to menachem her. Even rabbanim were turned away. It will take her a lot of time to chop what just happened and recover. If she ever will. She is an outstanding woman from an outstanding chashuv and mechubad mishpacha. May hkbh give her strength to gather strength to face the future; cus I’m sure it will be bright again one day.
May Mrs Weiss find comfort and know that her words have strengthened people around the world. Her request will stay with me forever.
Can you please give us their full names?
