YWN regrets to inform you of the tragic Petira of R’ Zvi Dovid Zhaler Z”L, who was R”L killed in a serious car crash on Monday afternoon.
24-year-old Zvi Dovid Z”L, was enroute from Baltimore to Passaic, New Jersey when he was involved in a single vehicle accident on the Millard E. Tydings Memorial Bridge. The force of the impact ejected him from the vehicle, and he was R”L pronounced dead by Maryland State Police who found his body.

Was Dovid Zhaler related to a R Zhaler from Switzerland?
Comment by yossbod — December 29, 2008 @ 10:56 pm
I cant even believe that I’m writing this post. Fifi was the most loving guy and wasn’t able to harm a fly . Always had a funny word to keep you going. We were in Yeshiva Gedolah of Toronto. May Hashem be with all his friends, wife and family get through this very though time. (Mayer, we feel your Tzar and all your friends are all with you. Keep strong!!) May this be the last Kapara before Mashaich and we will rejoice together in Yerushalaim . Amen

Comment by Abi gezunt — December 29, 2008 @ 11:58 pm
Fifi was the sweetest of the sweet. He was such a special person, someone who put everyone before himself in such an unassuming way. A big big loss for the entire Klal Yisrael. He was a true chaver of mine and I will miss him terribly. I was zoche to be in shiur with him in Ner Yisrael and the Mir. May Hashem comfort his wonderful mishpacha, his devoted aishes chayil and all his friends from all over. We should hear of no more tzaros. Boruch dayan haemes

Comment by Abi gezunt — December 30, 2008 @ 8:35 am
I would like to remind everyone about TOW - Tehillim on Wheels. Whenever you find yourself waiting for someone in a car (with the engine off), for example waiting to pick someone up from a train, waiting as your car is filled with gasoline, waiting at a drive in bank window, waiting for a school bus, etc., take out your tehillim and start from perek aleph. After a few weeks, you may have finished the entire sefer tehillim. Keep in mind people who need a refuah shelaima, parnasa, shalom bayis, nechama and strength due to tragedies, protection from harm (Israeli soldiers), even pray for those who are traveling that they should arrive safely. The needs of Klal Yisrael are endless. We need Hashem’s rachamim every second of the day. If we show Hashem that we are concerned for our fellow Jews’ well being during every free second that we have - even those whom we do not know personally - we can hope that Hashem will have rachamim on all of us every second of the day.
