Special to the Five Towns Jewish Times]

A young man playing basketball on a Motzai Shabbos collapsed while playing. The young man lives in Flatbush but attends Yeshiva Shaar HaTorah in Kew Gardens, New York.

Hatzolah arrived, but the young man is in very serious condition and requires much rachamei shamayim.

Please have in mind Asher Zelig Ben Chana Malka in your tehillim.

Yeshiva Shaar Hatorah is located in Queens, New York that includes a high school and a program for post-high school men. The Yeshiva also awards bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Talmudic law. It was founded in 1974 by Rav Zelig Epstein zt”l.  Its current Roshei Yeshiva are Rav Kalman Epstein and Rav Sholom Spitz. The Yeshiva has become the focal point of the Orthodox community in the neighborhood of Kew Gardens, Queens and of the broader Jewish community as well.
