The Frum community in Moscow is shocked beyond words, when learning of the news that the wife of Rav Shimon Anetdinov, Yael A”H, was brutally murdered earlier today. A source in the Moscow Kollel tells YWN that Rav Shimon Anetdinov is one of the premier Avrechim in the kollel at Yeshivas Ohale Yakov, and a Choshove Marbitz torah in many Mosdos in Moscow. Yael A”H worked Be’misiras Nefesh in the “Gan” for close to fours years, imbuing Ahavas Hashem V’etoraso in the children of the community.
According to initial evidence, the murder does not seem to be an anti-Semitic act, but rather the vicious killing of a drug-addict (junkie).
The Mora D’asra, Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt Shlita, and an activist who wishes to remain nameless, worked tirelessly this morning to ensure that the entire process is carried out as quickly as possible, so that the Nifteres can be brought to Kevuras Yisroel as quickly as possible.
The Kollel and and the Yeshiva are also grateful to Rabbi Berel Lazar, one of the Chief Rabbis of Moscow for calling and offering support and any help that he can to speed up the process.
The Kollel also thanks the Moscow police who ARE cooperating and the process is going well. “We thank them for their understanding in appreciating our Halachick concerns regarding Kovod Hameis, and we have faith in the Russian government and all pertinent local authorities that they will expedite the process as quickly as possible”, the source told YWN.
ZAKA is working with the Moscow authorities as well, and the Kevura will take place in Eretz Yisroel.
She leaves behind a grieving husband and two children.
Yehi Zichro Boruch….
