Tragic Sudden Death Of A Belzer Yeshiva Bochur From The USA In Bnei Brak


candle914Belzer Yeshiva Bochur, 18-year-old Yosef Yisrael Gold Z’L was niftar suddenly on Thursday morning, 19 Elul in Bnei Brak.

Yosef collapsed suddenly in yeshiva during the morning hours in front of his friends, as they were learning Gemara. EMS was summoned and CPR was initiated but their efforts were unsuccessful.

Yosef was a resident of the United States, a son of HaChossid Rav Aharon Gold of the Belzer community in Boro Park. He reportedly owns a clothing store on 13th Avenue. Members of the chassidus worked quickly to make certain the family in America was notified before the word spread quickly, as it usually does.

The Levaya began at 3:00PM from the Belzer Yeshiva in Bnei Brak and at 5:30PM from the main Belzer Beis Medrash in Kiryat Belz and to Har Menuchos.

  1. The article doesn’t say if the parents made it to EY for the kevura. There is a chance, and I am speculating based on the timing that they might not have made it in time to have the kevura before Shabbos.
