A terrible tragedy occurred on Tuesday afternoon when an 18-year-old yeshivah bochur was killed after being hit by a bus at the entrance to the Chareidi moshav of Komemiyut on Route 3533 at the entrance to Moshav Komemiyut. He was identified as Naftali Tzvi Kramer Z”L, a resident of Jerusalem and a Bochur at Satmar Yeshiva Gedolah in Komemiyut.
Naftali Tzvi Z”L was killed while on his way back to his yeshiva after participating in a protest against the autopsies. According to initial reports, the accident involved a bus operated by the Metropolin company that was transporting Chareidi girls. Witnesses, including the girls on the bus and yeshiva students cited by Chareidi media, stated that the bus was traveling at high speed.
The bochur was walking along the shoulder of the road together with friends when the fatal accident occurred. At this stage, authorities say there is no clear evidence that the driver intentionally struck him.
Details regarding the levayah will be published as they become available.
Naftali Tzvi Z”L was born in Jerusalem on the 27th of Shevat 5768 to his father, HaRav Yissachar Dov Kramer, a respected Satmar chossid in Jerusalem, and his mother, Mrs. Bracha Beila Kramer, née Gottlieb, daughter of HaRav Menashe Gottlieb.
He was raised in on Polansky Street in Jerusalem and was educated in the path of Torah and Chassidus. As a child, he learned at the Satmar Talmud Torah on Ezras Torah Street. In his teenage years, he studied at Yeshivas Yitav Lev for younger students in Jerusalem, and later advanced to Yeshiva Gedolah Yitav Lev D’Rabbeinu Yoel of Satmar in Komemiyut, where he was known as a serious and dedicated talmid.
Initial reports said that he was hit during a protest held against the autopsies for the babies who died at a Jerusalem daycare on Monday. However, shortly later, the police issued a statement saying that “there is no connection between the accident and the protest that ended earlier on the moshav of Komemiyut.”

2 protests, 2 killed by busses. To a simple person like me, it appears Shomayim is send a message. I wonder what it could be?
I’m a bit confused.
“there is no connection between the accident and the protest”
And yet your headline says there is.
So the babies were saved from an autopsy, was it worth a life and another serious injury?
how much more suffering will the Zionists cause us?
Such a terrible tragedy.
Young lives snuffed out
Young impressionable people placing themselves in extremely dangerous situations and being killed and injured in the streets
A real miracle there aren’t more victims
But:
Why do I only see young kids and young men in the dangerous streets protesting?? And dying?
Where are their rabbonim and roshei yeshiva??
Mitnach, he was returning from the hafgana .
The government of Israel is made up of goyisha kep. Why don’t they build wide roads and sidewalks. They are afraid to expand and build nice big one family homes with wide streets for they don’t want to upset the European Union. More people are killed in car accidents than all the wars. Streets are dangerous. Two way traffic on narrow roads. How insane. We need Chareidim to take over leadership of which they will in twenty years. Then the entire land will be spread out and settled like normal people. The pork eaters want to only live in Tel Aviv.
STOP THE HATE TOWARDS CHAREIDIM WHY IS IT RELEVANT IF HE WAS COMING FROM A HAFGANAH IF THE ACCIDENT DIDNT TAKE PLACE THERE
@mitnachel If you remember, a 20-year-old committed suicide at the first atzeres hamillion. So this is the third death of a bochur related to a protest. What’s the message, I don’t know. But we better figure it out quick.
Sitting in front of cars and busses is not a valid response to anything. These young people did not have to die this way. It is sick to encourage putting lives at risk as a form of protest.
Never thought in my lifetime I would Witness Jews celebrating the death of other Jews simply because they don’t agree with them about something, and none of those Jews ever complain about Arab benefits or at least rally to try and get them cut for being bloodsuckers that don’t contribute. Oh yeah they do contribute Terror
Flatbush yid, you are being ridiculous. Have you never been to Monsey or Monroe? The chassidishe builders do not build nice, big one family homes on wide streets. They largely build mega-multifamily homes on narrow winding streets with 2-way traffic. That’s what their Oilem seems to prefer overwhelmingly. The “modernishe” build what you are describing.
A bochur was hit by a bus in a quiet Moshav more than 30 miles from the scene of the Hafganah. (Flatbush Yid, you are right about the problem, but that wasn’t a factor in this case. Komemiyut is more like a bungalow colony than like anything you would see in Yerushalayim.) Tragic, but what does that have to do with the Hafganah?
In London and user176 flunk their reading comprehension test. Try reading the article again, not just the snarky click bait title, and you will realize your mistakes. CRR has obviously never been to Komemiyut and doesn’t have a clue what it looks like. How about a body count of Chiloni boys that age who die every Shabbos in accidents directly related to Chilul Shabbos and other “מעשים טובים”…
Yaakov Yosef, the video of the other incident clearly showed young men literally sitting and lying down in front of vehicles. It’s outrageous.
