Yechiel FInegold was a 20 year old yeshiva student from Baltimore Maryland, who was studying at Rabbi Goldblatt’s yeshiva in Lakewood. As reported on this site, he was killed on Sunday morning, the 17th of Kislev, 5779, November 25th, 2018, by a hit and run driver in Lakewood.

His Chavrusa, Shmuli Green, remembers him as a “a really special nishama with whom I had the privilege to learn with B’Chavrusa for a little over a year.” He, together with the rest of the Yeshiva, have started a Chesed Fund to raise money for a Sefer Torah in Yechiel’s memory.

As the yeshiva wrote in their campaign: “Yechiel’s passing leaves us with a indescribable void and inspires us with a desire to try to continue to emulate his passion for Kavod Habrios and Kavod HaTorah. We are all feeling a tremendous loss at his passing. As an everlasting memory for Yechiel, we were hoping to complete a Sefer Torah L’ilui Nishmaso.”
