Again, I feel these marketing antics are highly inappropriate and distasteful.
There were so many amazing people involved in the search, Zaka, Police, MDA, Americans volunteers, special units, Lakewood organizations, bochurim etc. I really don’t think this should be used as a marketing opportunity when someone’s life has just be lost with such a tragic ending.
The focus should be on Aharon and not who found him.
I respectfully request YWN remove this article.
BD”H, does anyone know the cause of death or what happened? May Hashem comfort them and give them strength.
A tragic levaye. May the Rebono Shel Olam comfort the parents and family among the mourners of Tzion and Yerushalayim.
Has anyone heard what day has been commemorated for his yartzeit?
Marketing antics? What are you talking about?
#1: Are you referring to the levaya announcement? That is not marketing. The poster is how levayas are announced in Yerushalayim so that people know where/when.
