Rabbi Aryeh Kupinsky HY”D, 43, was a US citizen too. He was a regular at the minyan where the attack occurred. The family has known tragedy as Rav Aryeh’s 13-year-old daughter, Chaya Chana was niftar 3 years ago in her sleep. Rav Aryeh was known as a man of chessed and ran a gemach. He was known to never refuse anyone seeking assistance in any form, always seeking ways to assist others. His oldest son learns in Yeshiva Gaon Yaakov in Bnei Brak, headed by Maran HaGaon HaRav Aaron Yehuda Leib Shteinman Shlita. He is survived by his wife and five children, ages 5-16.

He was a kind & gentle giant
In size & goodness
He will be missed
May H-shem comfort the family among the mourners of Zion & Jerusalem
He was a true friend. Sincere, caring, helpful, and always willing to go above and beyond. He was that guy who was always upbeat and positive, even though he went through so much. My heart goes out to his wife and children. They were just beginning to rebuild after their tragedy with their precious daughter. May hashem give them the strength. I don’t know how. Hashem oz l’amo yiten.
R’ Aryeh was the kindest of souls always looking for an opportunity to assist another person. I remember countless times, when arriving at a Kiddush Shabbos morning, how he would be lending a hand to serve or clean up. He didn’t offer his services. Rather he perceived the need and seized the moment to assist. One small example of one very special person. He will be remembered by all for his special nature and open heart. May his family know of no more suffering and be blessed with simcha from this point forward.
