Michoel Levy, z’l, passed away at the age of 55 after contracting the coronavirus during the course of his job as a police commander stationed at Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv.
Levy collapsed in shul on Yom Kippur and was hospitalized in critical condition after being diagnosed with the coronavirus.
He reportedly came into contact with several coronavirus patients while on police duty.
“He always had a smile on his face,” Itzik, an Ichilov employee told B’Chadrei Chareidim. “All of the hospital staff have davened for him from the time he was hospitalized. We were utterly shocked that he died. He was young, both in age and in spirit.”
Levy left behind six children, whom he raised b’derech HaTorah.
Below are photos of Zaka volunteers accompanying Levy on his final journey.

Yes, every Jew deserves respect,
But a shoimer toira u’mitzvois deserves far more,
And if he kept mitzvois despite his background/job etc… thne he deserves even more
So lets just realize what’s worthy of our respect
Reiven:
ALL Jews deserve respect, but Shomrei Torah u’mitzvos deserve more respect. No?
