6. Baruch Dayan haEmes. My condolences for your loss we were very sad to here the news.

7. I was zoche to have had known Elchonon z”l for quite a few years. He was a camper of mine several years back and more recently, I serve as a Shoel umaishiv in the bais medrash where he learned. He was the sweetest boy…always a big smile on his face…tremendous masmid and talmid chochom…tremendous baal middos tovos…a big baal madreigah, always working on himself, trying to perfect his bein odom lachaveiroh and bein odom lamakom…the “ari shebachabutah”…The maspidim at the levayah really captured in words what this holy neshamah was. May Hakadosh Baruch Hu grant a nechama to his family and the entire yeshiva. We are all so broken.

10. Elchonon was a bochur in our Yeshiva. He was always with a smile. He always greeted me with a good morning or a hello even though he hardly knew me. He really made a hachono for his petira in that he was in the yeshiva until 9:00 p.m., shortly before his neshama was taken back to its creator! May his parents, siblings and chaveirim have nichum in knowing that now he is with the Borei Olam, a much better place. May we be zoche to have him back real soon, b’vias Moshiach bimhayro.

    May his holy neshama be melitz yosher for his fmaily friends and all of klal yisroel

12. We are posting on one of the most tragic boards ever put on this site, yet, people do not refrain from arguing about inconsequential petty matters. It is ironic that a person leaves more of a mark after his/her death than during their lifetime. I attended the same yeshiva as Elchonon and although I was a mere acquaintance, it was easy to see that he left an indelible mark on those around him. He was someone who embodied all the unique traits of a true friend,role model, and yeshiva boy. It is such an unfortunate circumstance and as oppose to defacing his message board with petty matters we shuld try and stop that nonsense.

13. As a close chaver of Elchonon, this is very painful and sad; may we not have to know of this type of tradegy anymore>

14. I am still numb. Elchonon, you were it!!! The best are always snatched up early. Please look down upon us and guide us in every right way. I’ll never forget!!
