8:44PM EST: YWN regrets to inform you of a horrific tragedy which is still unfolding.
What we have confirmed is that a grandfather in his 60’s, a resident of Chicago’s Frum community, was flying a private plane in Michigan which crashed, and R”L killed him, and 3 grandchildren – two 17-year-old’s, and one 15-year-old.
A 13-year-old grandson was ejected from the aircraft, and is reportedly in critical condition.
Airport officials say the plane was taking off just after 5:10 p.m. when it crashed 100 feet off the end of the runway and immediately burst into flames. There may have been 4 to 6 people on board.
The Misaskim organization is heavily involved in this incident, working closely with the NTSB and local authorities to ensure proper Kavos Haniftar is given. Additionally, they are in contact with the Israeli Consulate, and the ZAKA Organization in Eretz Yisroel.
UPDATE 8:58PM EST: Please be Mispallel for Nesanel Yosef ben Simcha Sima.
UPDATE 9:35PM EST: We regret to inform you of the Tragic Petira of R’ Moshe Menorah Z”L, a well-known Baal Tzedakah from Chicago’s Frum community. Moshe Menora is survived by his wife Sema, his son Sholom and his daughters Miriam Schreiber and Kelly Klein.
UPDATE 9:43PM EST: Misaskim is working hand-in-hand with the local Chevra Kaddisha, and YWN has learned that the Niftarim will be removed from the scene shortly. The grandchildren are currently visiting from Eretz Yisroel.
UPDATE 10:33PM EST: The grandchildren killed were: Sara Klein A”H (17), Rickie Menorah A”H (17), Racheli Menorah A”H (15).
Further details will be posted pending proper notifications.

You know what makes me proud at the time of a tragedy. The Achdus that occures at such places. You have two enormous global crises organizations working together on a case, Misaskim and Zaka, yet they give the last word and say to the local Chevra Kadishas. They don’t try to overpower those small and sometimes incapable Chevra Kadishas, they work together and train them on how to handle such uneventful tragedies.
Mi Keamcha Yisroel… Umi Sheamar L’olamo Dai, Yomar Ltzaaroseinu Dai!

Baruch Dayan HaEmes. What a terrible tragedy! May Hashem be menachem the whole family.
I just read that this boy has been transferred to the burn unit. If anyone would like to finish another sefer
I would like if the moderator allows me to leave my email address created for this purpose so it would be easier to keep track. You can send an email to [email protected] and I will respond with the kapitlach.
Did 116-120 and 135-142 as I didn’t see anyone take 136-139
moderator??
baruch dayan emes this is a terrible tragedy. Just curious, are the levayos going to be in chicago? And the poor injured child, will he be transferred to a hospital near his parents? What is his current status? I am davening..This is so sad… May he have a reufuah shelaimah.
How many children were in this family?
How beautiful is Klall Yisroel always rising to the occassion. Klall Yisroel always feels everyones pain.
All of tehilim May all the neshomos have an Aliyah.
Let every one heal and become one. May Mossiach come quickly in our day
I can say Tehillim from 119 from Passuk Nun (ner le ragli) to the end of 137 inclusive.
Boruch Dayan Haaemet! May Nesanael Yosef ben Simcha Sima have a complete refuah shelama be karov!
May all the family have much nechama and the niftarim A’H should be meilitzim yesharim for all of Klall Yisrael!
Besurot tovot!
Levayos are TENTATIVELY scheduled for 7:00 PM at Congregation Or Torah on Dempster in Skokie.
it doesn’t matter if a perek of tehillim gets done 50 times as long as all of them get done
It doesn’t matter if all of them get done either. Whatever is done in the zechus for a refuah sheleima for someone will help in one way or another.
Mi Keamecha Yisrael. The terrible tragedy made me cry tears of sadness and horror but the response here made me cry tears of joy. May this show of Ahavas Yisrael bring Mashiach now, speedily, in our time.
I’ll say from 140-150 and i’ll start again from 1-10. ashrainu matov chelkainu!
I’ll take 11-30.
