Somehow the wonderful parents will have to “Trug Ibber” this tragedy! Only HaShem can help that! So Sad!
It is noteworthy, Rav Shmuel Berenbaum, whose Yohrtzeit is today, was his great uncle!

No it wasn’t.
#3, nobody said anything about 25.”A tragedy occurred in Jerusalem on Thursday afternoon, a vehicular accident which claimed the life of Yisrael Rosenblum Z”L, a 20-year-old American Bochur currently studying in Mir Yerushalayim.”
#10, the original article posted had mistakenly stated that he was 25. The article was since edited, but the comments were not.
