It is with deep regret that YWN shares the petirah of Reb Chaim Tzvi Elbaum Z�L, who was tragically niftar Monday morning after succumbing to injuries he sustained when he was struck by a vehicle in Boro Park late last year. He was 89.

The accident occurred on December 22, 2025, at approximately 11:40 a.m. at the intersection of 16th Avenue and 46th Street, when Reb Chaim Tzvi was struck by a vehicle.

Boro Park Hatzolah paramedics rushed to the scene and transported him in traumatic arrest to Maimonides Medical Center for emergency treatment. He was subsequently transferred to a long-term care center in Lakewood.

Despite months of medical care and rehabilitation, Reb Chaim Tzvi was niftar Monday morning at the Lakewood facility.
