Choppers were in the sky and volunteers took part in the search for 23-year-old talmid yeshiva Aaron Sofer the entire Shabbos. The tzibur at large is called upon on motzei Shabbos to assist in the search. He was walking with a friend but the two lost sight of one another going down an incline in the Jerusalem Forests. Zaka and Ichud Hatzalah assisted police in the search over Shabbos.
The friend notified police at 6 PM and police phoned Zaka at 1:45 Friday night. Zaka commander Rav Bentzi Oring turned to rabbonim and the word was give to launch a search in the Beit Zayit area of the Jerusalem Forest.
Aaron is a resident of Lakewood, and is currently learning by Rav Tzvi Kaplan. He was last seen at noon on erev Shabbos in the Jerusalem Forest. Anyone with any information is urged to contact 02-539-1520 or 100.
Please say tehillim for Aaron Ben Chuldah.

Those of us not living in EY can only wish they find him safe. It might help to post a photo and detailed description of this bochur for those living in EY. A name alone is not going to be of much help.
Is he the son of rabbi sofer who sells used bikes?
I hope that they find him soon and safe. Gd forbid another tragic event like before .. May God watch over him
How horrible the waiting must be for his family. Hope they find him quickly and that he’s safe and sound.
A sign posted outside R Tvi Kaplan’s Yeshivah says “Anyone that can help with the search should go, but ONLY with 2 BIG bottles of water and appropriate footwear”
whats wrong with my comment?
Any updates
