Baruch Dayan HaEmmes: Tragedy struck the Chabad tzibur in Yerushalayim on Tuesday morning 9 Shevat due to the sudden petira of HaRav HaChossid Yisrael Frishman Z”L, a prominent member of the local Chabad community and head of the Kehillas Chabad Shul on Chana Street.

R’ Frishman was 58 and apparently suffered a heart attack during the night.

Those who knew the niftar explain he was an askan during his years, working tirelessly for the tzibur. He served as Menahel Chinuchi in Yeshivas Toras Emmes, was active in Yad Eliezer and a member of the chevra kadisha.

Just a day earlier he participated in a chalaka for a grandson together with many other family members.

The levaya began at noon and kvura was in Har Menuchos.
