R’ Nirenberg was the first COVID-19 fatality in Modiin Illit which is currently designated as a “red city,” due to its high coronavirus infection rate relative to its population.

Boruch Dayan HaEmes! This is so sad. He hailed from Australia, was a true friend. He didn’t have an easy life. Boruch Hashem he learned Torah in ernst and loved Yiddishkeit. בלע המות לנצח ומחה אדני יהוה דמעה מעל כל־פנים
