Reb Menashe Yitzchak Meir Schiff, z’l, a Belzer chassid of Ashdod, passed away from the coronavirus in Ichilov Hospital on the second night of Rosh Hashanah at the age of 47.
Reb Schiff suffered from a lung infection about three months ago and before he was fully recovered, he contracted the coronavirus, which led to a deterioration of his condition.
He was hospitalized for about two months before passing away two weeks after the death of both of his parents. His father, Rav Yosef Schiff, z’l, of Jerusalem, passed away after suffering from cancer for six months and his mother, z’l, Mrs. Ita Schiff, a’h, collapsed and died on the same day after hearing the news of her husband’s death.
The niftar left behind a wife and 16 children, 12 of whom still live at home.
A fund was launched on The Chesed Fund to help the family.

16 CHILDREN?? When did he have time to get sick???
This is very sad, but as with these stories, most deaths are from Comorbidities that people have always gotten sick and sadly died from. Yet again, the Misleading “Covid Death” stories to scare people into Submission of their Religious, Civil and Human rights! LAST YEAR, AND EVERY YEAR BEFORE, Just as many People Died of Lung UPPER AND LOWER RESPIRATORY Infections, Pneumonias, Flus, Cancers, STAPH, With Complications of Bacterial and Viral Secondary Infections. The LEFT SOCIALISTS are using Falsely high Covid PCR Test Positive Numbers to Violate our Religious and Civil Rights and Force MASK MANDATES, CLOSINGS, – even as they Crowd their BLM Antifa Rallies with Blasio!
