10:45AM EST: YWN regrets to inform you of the tragic Petira of HaBochur Chananya Backer Z”L from critical injuries sustained in a horrific car crash on Erev Shabbos.
As YWN had reported, the vehicle which Chananya Z”L (who was in his teens) was travelling in, had lost control, hit a fence and crashed into a tree on Slade Avenue just near Seven Mile Lane early Friday morning.
Paramedics and rescue personnel needed to extricate him from the wreckage, and he was flown by a Maryland State PD chopper to Shock Trauma Center, where he was listed in critical condition. [Original story posted HERE]
At the request of Rabbonim, YWN had posted an urgent Tehillim request on Friday afternoon, and Tefillos were being recited around the globe for his recovery.
Unfortunately he was Niftar a short while ago…….
The Levaya is scheduled for 3:00PM at the Sol Levinson Chapels on Reisterstown Road near Mt. Wilson Lane.
Boruch Dayan Emmes….

Nebach let him be a Karban Tzibur for Gantz Klal Yisroel, and let him bring Moshiach!
To the Backer family… There really are no words… the communities of LA and Baltimore are crying with you, and our hearts break for you. May this be the last tisha’h b’av that we will have to mourn, and may the next tishah b’av be celebrated as a yom tov with the comming of mashiach, and your reunion with Chananya Z”L. Until then, may Hashem comfort you among the mourners of tzion and yerushalayim.
My heartfelt condolences to his family.
My heart is broken for this family that is now dealing with this loss!
I am so sorry for your loss and I hope your family in time will find some peace and be able to heal somewhat.
